Milwaukee Officials Back Data Center Regulation Bill
Milwaukee County supervisors unanimously passed a committee resolution Monday backing the Data Center Accountability Bill, introduced in November by Sen. Jodi Habush Sinykin and Rep. Angela Stroud. The bill would require transparency and limits on energy and water use and impose prevailing-wage or collective-bargaining protections for data center workers; proponents cited projects like Microsoft’s $7 billion investment and a proposed $15 billion campus.
