In Fulton #GApol, data centers don't even need tax breaks (though most get them).
That's cos County Assessors only value them at 10-20% of what data center developers say they are worth.
Correcting this raises $48M this year. Another ~$140M/yr as $10 Billion more come on line.

NEW: 36 states lavish tax breaks on data centers. But just 11 of those states reveal the names of the companies getting the tax breaks, fewer disclose the value of the tax breaks, and NO state provides both estimated and actual jobs created. 1-

Apparently, the newly-elected mayor of Dayton, OH is a Dem Socialist though her campaign wasn't officially endorsed by the DSA. Dayton is where Cox Ent. began in 1898.

If Kemp’s not willing to use GA’s 14.6 billion surplus (9 bil is undesignated and 5.6 bil is a rainy day fund) to help fund SNAP, what the hell is he going to use it for?? I can’t think of anything more important than keeping people from starving.

Here in Atlanta yesterday, more than 2,000 people waited in their cars—one woman for 14 hours—for a box of food. The giveaway ended early; there wasn't enough to go around.
Multiply this scene by countless others across the country, and you get a sense of how crushing the desperation is right now.
