SB280 offers millions to tech giants—some say it’ll leave ratepayers holding the bill

The Colorado Sun, Approved, State / / , , , ,

With the help of generous corporate tax breaks, the state of Virginia has built up a data center industry that’s the envy of some Colorado lawmakers.

The tax incentives helped bring Virginia over $9 billion in economic investments and some 75,000 jobs. In some communities, data centers make up as much as a third of the local tax base.

Meanwhile, violent foreign nationals, like MS-13 gang members, are given more care, sympathy, and legal protection than the American people ever receive. 

This isn’t just hypocrisy. This is betrayal.
