What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

State Senator Frank Farry voted for tax breaks in Harrisburg for an Amazon data center planned for Falls Township. This vote led to a political dispute, as Farry’s campaign received a cease-and-desist letter from the campaign of Eileen Hartnett Albillar. The ad by Albillar called Farry a “data senator” and accused him of voting for tax breaks while his law firm represents NorthPoint, a company that redeveloped the site.
