Voters Need to Hear.
Voters especially young voters in HD-41 should learn - online and through the mail - that Brett Miller voted to put the cost of data centers on our electric bills. Out-of-state developers came after our town, and when Harrisburg voted on whether to shield ratepayers from what data centers cost, Brett Miller took the developers’ side. Electric bills are already climbing. Miller has spent eleven years in Harrisburg cashing utility-industry and health-insurance PAC checks and then voting the way those donors want, and the cost lands on us every time.
Brett Miller sides with the companies that write him checks - and Lancaster County covers the cost.
