Gov. Mills vetoes data center and criminal records bills, plus more local headlines

Governor Janet Mills recently vetoed a bill aimed at implementing a temporary pause on new large-scale AI data center developments across Maine. This action prevents the legislation from becoming law. Explaining her decision, Governor Mills indicated that she would have approved the bill had it included an exception for a data center project already underway at the former Andrew Scoggin Mill in Jay. The report also touched upon other local political news, including primary election campaigns for governor and fundraising efforts.
