'Much of it came down to four concerns: water, electricity, zoning, and whether data centers really help local communities. Those are fair questions.' #KSGov #Innovation #AI #DataCenters #EconomicDevelopment

Most counties hire appraisers who are not qualified to appraise individual properties, which may account for many appeals being decided in taxpayers' favor. #KSGov #PropertyTaxes #BeenHonestKS

As this opinion piece by Mike O’Neil, Former Speaker of the Kansas House, highlights, lawmakers are well within their role to advance reforms that improve outcomes for Kansas families.

From @VanceGinn Kansas wheat country is facing a hard year. Drought has damaged winter wheat across the Plains, and the latest crop tour estimates point to a much smaller harvest than last year. #KSGov #AgLand #Farmers

Artificial intelligence is not floating in the clouds. It runs on land, energy, fiber, water systems, skilled workers, and data centers.
That means Kansas has a choice. It can become a place where the next generation of digital infrastructure is built, or it can regulate, zone, and subsidize its way into mediocrity while investment goes elsewhere.
The opportunity is real. AI, cloud computing, cybersecurity, logistics, digital payments, telehealth, and advanced manufacturing all depend on data centers.
Data centers are the physical backbone of a modern economy. When permitting delays, energy shortages, or regulatory bottlenecks constrain infrastructure, only the largest firms can absorb the costs. That tends to reduce competition and slow innovation.
Kansas should not make that mistake.
