Gov: Maine State House, Governor Janet Mills

The Maine State House recently conducted a vote on Governor Janet Mills' veto regarding a data center-related bill. The legislative body voted 72 in favor and 65 against the veto.

However, this outcome was insufficient to achieve the two-thirds majority necessary to overturn the Governor's decision. As a result, Governor Mills' veto was sustained, meaning the original bill, which was presumably related to data center policy or development, will not become law.
