INTRO: Data centers won support in only one out of the 45 related ballot measures in Tuesday’s midterm elections, as voters around the country largely rejected the construction of the facilities. Blake Hankey, the mayor of Harwood, North Dakota, joined Fox Business’s “Big Money in The Morning” to discuss why his town bucked the trend and voted against a plan that would have given the city more local control over data center construction.
ACK: Harwood, North Dakota Mayor Blake Hankey
