Is your argument that we should ignore the will of the people? Because this is what the people of Maine want. Why exactly should Maine be forced to have data centers in it when its citizens don't want that?

We have rights and representative republics to restrain the will of the people for a reason.

  • The representatives proposed the legislation, and the people want this. This is democracy working as intended regardless of your preferred flavor.
