Should have never happened to begin with. Charge the data center more for being there and give tax breaks to the local citizens. Screw this guy

Didn't read the article and don't know how state government works?

Pritzker called on state lawmakers this year to suspend incentives for two years while they hammer out a comprehensive review of the impact centers are having on communities.

Pritzker is making the move after lawmakers did not act. The governor cannot unilaterally halt the program, but the executive branch does wield some control over processing applications, according to his office.
