Wisconsin Supreme Court candidates address data center issue

The issue of data centers has come up in the race for an open seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. The liberal candidate, Judge Chris Taylor, said if elected she may rule on issues related to data centers. Her conservative opponent, Judge Maria Lazar, said she does not see it as an issue and would not pre-judge any cases. Meanwhile, state lawmakers in Wisconsin are debating legislation tied to data centers, including a project in Beaver Dam that has sparked litigation over its potential energy usage.
