00:00:00,567 --> 00:00:00,868
Hello everybody.

2
00:00:00,934 --> 00:00:01,802
I'm PBS Wisconsin

3
00:00:01,869 --> 00:00:02,703
Here & Now reporter

4
00:00:02,769 --> 00:00:03,370
Murv Seymour.

5
00:00:03,437 --> 00:00:04,004
We've been hearing a lot

6
00:00:04,071 --> 00:00:04,738
about the issue

7
00:00:04,805 --> 00:00:05,506
of data centers

8
00:00:05,572 --> 00:00:06,340
across the state.

9
00:00:06,406 --> 00:00:08,141
They can fund schools.

10
00:00:08,208 --> 00:00:09,943
There's property tax revenue.

11
00:00:10,010 --> 00:00:10,677
Does the community

12
00:00:10,744 --> 00:00:11,578
need snowplows?

13
00:00:11,645 --> 00:00:13,180
Does it need a library?

14
00:00:13,247 --> 00:00:14,648
I won't stop pushing back

15
00:00:14,715 --> 00:00:15,983
until they're stopped.

16
00:00:16,049 --> 00:00:17,050
But how important is

17
00:00:17,117 --> 00:00:18,619
the issue to voters?

18
00:00:18,685 --> 00:00:19,186
Well, the

19
00:00:19,253 --> 00:00:19,887
Marquette Law School

20
00:00:19,953 --> 00:00:20,854
has done some recent polling

21
00:00:20,921 --> 00:00:21,455
and you might

22
00:00:21,522 --> 00:00:22,322
be surprised about

23
00:00:22,389 --> 00:00:23,724
where the issue falls

24
00:00:23,790 --> 00:00:24,958
on the radar of importance

25
00:00:25,025 --> 00:00:25,826
to voters.

26
00:00:25,893 --> 00:00:26,460
Inflation

27
00:00:26,527 --> 00:00:27,394
and the cost of living

28
00:00:27,461 --> 00:00:28,929
is 42%.

29
00:00:28,996 --> 00:00:30,364
It's been the top issue

30
00:00:30,430 --> 00:00:32,533
for at least four years now.

31
00:00:32,599 --> 00:00:34,835
But data centers, in contrast

32
00:00:34,902 --> 00:00:36,737
only 5% name

33
00:00:36,803 --> 00:00:37,504
data centers

34
00:00:37,571 --> 00:00:38,705
as most important.

35
00:00:38,772 --> 00:00:39,373
To learn more

36
00:00:39,439 --> 00:00:40,007

37
00:00:40,073 --> 00:00:40,507
data centers

38
00:00:40,574 --> 00:00:41,241
