AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Data Center Politics in Wisconsin: In the governor’s race, David Crowley and Tom Tiffany keep trading shots over AI and data-center subsidies, with Crowley backing local control and Tiffany pushing to end roughly $2B in incentives and protect farmland and water. Regulatory Fight: Oracle dropped its Wisconsin lawsuit after the Public Service Commission held firm on credit requirements tied to a Port Washington data-center plan. Rural Backlash & Energy Pressure: Rural Wisconsin communities are organizing against data centers over power, water, and local cost impacts, while campaigns use the issue to argue about affordability and infrastructure. Pipeline & Tribal Rights: A judge heard arguments in the Line 5 reroute case as the Bad River Band and others challenge permits over impacts to tribal waterways and wetlands. Public Health: Wisconsin reported measles cases rising in the southwest, and health officials linked E. coli and salmonella illnesses to Minnesota-grown alfalfa sprouts. Construction & Infrastructure: Detroit Lakes’ beach and road project is nearing its final phase, and Milwaukee reopened the Clinton & Bernice Rose Senior Center after a major renovation. Workforce & Industry: UW-Madison is emphasizing AI readiness in higher education, while Wisconsin construction groups continue pushing for permanent childcare support.
