Acyn(@Acyn):Texas Commissioner of Agriculture Sid Miller: I'm very worried about the data centers. We're going way too fast. The reason they come to Texas, our counties have no oversight ability so they can just do whatever. Abbott has got a huge conflict of interest, he has taken millions of dollars from the data center industry. I said, you know, governor, you ought to just give that back, if you're truly flip-flopping and you were big on bringing the data centers in but right before the midterm election trying, you know, garner votes by looking tough on data centers, give the money back.
