‘Inside Texas Politics’: Michael Crain, John Bucy III, Jared Patterson, and the Data Center Exemption Costing Texas Billions
About this episode
The episode discusses the regulation of data centers in Texas and related legislative efforts by local officials.
In the April 12 episode, Fort Worth District 3 Council Member Michael Crain explains what he wants state lawmakers to do when it comes to regulating data centers, and why his residents don’t think leaders should be providing tax breaks. State Representative John Bucy III tells us why he’ll file legislation to prevent one party from dictating how another party runs elections at the local level. And State Representative Jared Patterson on why he thinks recent jury verdicts against social media will help him pass legislation banning under-16s from using it in Texas.
