威斯康辛州选民将在4月决定是否需要批准对数据中心等发展的大规模税收奖励措施。 Wisconsin voters will decide in April whether large tax incentives for developments like data centers need approval.

威斯康星州法官允许华盛顿港公投讨论未来对大型发展(包括数据中心)的税收优惠是否需要选民批准。 A Wisconsin judge has allowed a Port Washington referendum to proceed on whether future tax incentives for large developments, including data centers, require voter approval. 4月7日的投票来自一项由反对150亿美元的AI数据中心项目的居民支持的提案。 这个项目要求公共批准超过1 000万美元以上的地区增税融资。 The April 7 vote stems from a proposal backed by residents opposing a $15 billion AI data center project, which would require public approval for tax increment financing (TID) districts over $10 million. 包括MMAC在内的商业团体认为,这项措施模糊不清,可能阻碍发展,但Adam Gerol法官裁定法院不能阻止选举或对未颁布的法律作出裁决。 Business groups, including MMAC, argued the measure was vague and could hinder development, but Judge Adam Gerol ruled courts cannot block elections or rule on unenacted laws. 他强调居民有权直接立法,并允许倡导团体大湖邻里联合干预,称最初的排除是一个程序性错误。 He emphasized residents’ right to direct legislation and allowed the advocacy group Great Lakes Neighbors United to intervene, calling its initial exclusion a procedural error. 全民公决的合法性只有在公投通过后才会得到审查。 The referendum’s legality will only be reviewed if it passes.
