Acton and Brown Ahead by a Hair; Data Centers Behind by a Mile

For a lively podcast (audio only) on what the university pollsters learned about the races, go here to listen to the chat on WOSU. Despite their feelings about data centers, however, Ohioans shared their greatest concerns are about #1 economy, #2 inflation, and #3 corruption. Put another way: how much everything we need costs, how the prices keep going up, and the money/power brokers who make that happen while lining their own pockets. 

As for data centers, there are no surprises in this Capital Journal article, also based on the Bowling Green State University work. But the article also covers some finer points on moratoriums and bans being passed by local authorities. Or you can follow the next link to go straight to the BGSU poll under discussion.

"A Bowling Green State University poll released Wednesday found that 78% of Ohioans support data center moratoriums until more information can be gathered about their effects. Seventy-five percent oppose construction in their local communities, and 63% are against construction elsewhere in Ohio."
