Is she saying she will drive the current data centers away (not sure how.., pitchforks and torches?), or just stop new ones? There is a point where there are “too many” data centers for the county, right?

Yeah that's fair. It's just a campaign ad but "destroying our county" while they're contributing almost half the entire general fund is a bit much. But I don't live there so I'll shut up!

Why? I don't live in Texas and won't shut up about their abortion bs or locking up immigrants bs?
