Position on Hyperscale Data Centers
- Supports local county zoning moratoriums across Kansas while opposing state or federal bans: “People in Kansas are on fire against them. And several dozen counties have placed moratoriums on them... I certainly support their moratoriums. I think they need to figure out the water issue and the electricity issue. I don't know why we would give them any tax breaks because they really don't bring a lot of jobs after they're built” (Semafor).
