In the face of a state law addressing data centers, how important in your mind is local control? Local control is where it all begins. People don't always understand that. So I'm really glad you asked about that. The idea of where these data centers will be placed and how the developments proceed happen at the local level by local city officials and governments. For the state legislators like myself, I feel we need to show up at the table from the state level to provide some kind of uniformity and a regulatory framework again that helps hold these big data centers and big tech accountable to Wisconsin.
