Senator Lucas vows a budget by June 30th: Data centers must pay their fair share.

Senator Luise Lucas addresses the critical intersection of Virginia's budget negotiations and corporate accountability. Emphasizing the need for tax fairness, the discussion centers on whether data centers, which benefit from significant tax incentives despite limited job creation, should pay sales tax on computer equipment. The focus remains on protecting the state's electric grid, preserving natural resources, and ensuring that everyday Virginians are not unfairly burdened by utility costs while the Commonwealth moves toward a June 30th budget deadline. #VirginiaPolitics #BudgetDeadline #DataCenters #TaxFairness #VirginiaGovernment
