The cost of #tax subsidies for #datacenters in #AZ have risen 1000% ...according to a recent report. Who is tallying up how much taxpayers end up footing the bill for tax breaks here in #arizona? goodjobsfirst.org/cloudy-data-...

Can we take it to the AZ State legislature? And demand how much these billionaire-backed data centers get in tax subsidies? How much is this costing tax payers? (see ad flyer below that promises HUGELY tax exemptions here in #AZ)

And don't forget the drain on taxes! AZ data centers get heavy state tax subsidies (see ad flyer with amazing tax savings promises here). Has anyone calculated the actual tax breaks that Data centers are getting? (And tax payers have to make up for that!)

Plz share - @azluminaria.org and #AZ @azpm.org has created a great documentary series about mobile home housing - and how residents organize to fight for their rights. In particular - for the crazy utility charges by mobile park landlords....

ACTION ITEM - concerned about electrical rates and #datacenters in #AZ? Speak up on the ACC website. Look for docket E-00000A-25-0069. Speak up! Why are we subsidizing these data centers' utility rates? Residents pay 3x more for these high volume users - and more rate boosts to come to pay for grid
