What happened
During a debate in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, Jarrett Coleman and Mark Pinsley discussed data centers, minimum wage, and reproductive rights. Coleman proposed legislation allowing municipalities to call for a moratorium on hyperscale data centers while updating zoning rules. Pinsley countered that Coleman's bill was flawed and advocated for a statewide rule instead.
