       @davidgerard@circumstances.run A data center project in Sanford, Maine---a town over from me---is affected by this statewide ban. A scummy Republican state representative revealed some details of the proposed project publicly in an attempt to derail this ban. I guess his thinking was that the proposal was so massive it would somehow impress people into agreeing to it. Apparently that didn't work.“This is an historically large economic investment opportunity for Sanford, and one that I think is really needed,” Sen. Matthew Harrington, R-York, said in a telephone interview Wednesday. He was first to disclose the parameters of the project last week, in an attempt to derail a proposed two-year moratorium on data centers under discussion at the Energy and Utilities Committee. He said the project represents 100 long-term jobs and is “well on track to happen.”From https://sanfordspringvalenews.com/company-eyes-sanford-site-for-data-center/Harrington had anti-trans language in his campaign flyers last election, just to give you a sense of how nice a guy he is (/s).
