Tuberville Turns on Data Center Incentives | Huntsville News

Tommy Tuberville’s big pivot: Alabama’s data centers are no longer getting sweetheart deals. The GOP governor candidate now demands they pay full taxes, cover their own energy and water costs, and face local community approval before building. He’s flipping from earlier praise of these tech giants to calling them “bribes” — proposing 20-year max tax breaks (down from 30) and top-tier property tax brackets. His campaign even got a $25K donation from a data center firm — raising eyebrows. Meanwhile, Democrat Doug Jones pushes back with his own rules: pause new builds, force companies to generate their own power. Tuberville’s message? Alabama’s resources aren’t free — these corporations must pay their fair share. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
