Thank you to T. Matthew Robinson-Aguirre’s recent letter ”<\/p>\n

Data centers are the litmus test for local elections<\/a><\/p>\n

” for bringing awareness to all of us about the implications of these data centers. Your letter was excellent and yes, this is not a partisan issue.<\/p>\n

I currently sit on the Litchfield City Council and requested this topic be put on our agenda recently. Our vital services, as they are currently, could not support a data center. The state’s role is unclear at this time.<\/p>\n
