Data centers, hazardous waste weigh on voters in Michigan’s 31st House District

The Michigan 31st House District race is centered partly on opposition to proposed data centers, including a 1-gigawatt Google project in Van Buren Township. Candidates Laura Perry and Shannon Dare Wayne support stronger safeguards and repealing data center tax breaks, while Perry backs a one-year moratorium and Dare Wayne favors enforceable protections without endorsing a moratorium.
