Should the state legislature enact laws concerning the impacts on water, energy, or land use from the development and operation of data centers? Would state regulation of data center development and operation interfere with the authority of municipalities to establish ordinances under the MPC (Municipal Planning Code)?

My top four currently and continually are Property taxes, Ai Data Centers, and utility costs. Our infrastructure is another serious concern.
I personally support limited absentee ballots. No votes counted after election day. Paper ballots, photo id and elimination of drop boxes.
A constitutional requirement of an on time balanced budget. No extensions no delays. Enforceable by law, fines, and forced attendance.
The state should assist local municipalities in enforcing and enacting protections. If the development has larger impact beyond the locality, such as grid issues, possible pollution, depletion of resources etc, the state needs to have consistent parameters and regulations. There should also be agreement to the maximum number of data centers in the state. Plus the state needs to ensure no costs of development or operation are pushed on the taxpayer and additionally ensure benefits to the tax payer in lower utility costs, infrastructure improvements and lower taxes.
