I was honored to join community and journalism leaders to discuss the future of local news in rural Pennsylvania.

My good friend Joy Vincent-Killian, Press Forward PA Wilds Director at Centre Foundation, led the conversation, sharing what she learned from communities across the region through a year of listening and research.

BREAKING: I just signed an Executive Order implementing the strictest standards in the nation for AI data centers — because I will not allow Pennsylvanians to be bullied by greedy developers and bulldozed by the lawyers working for these big tech companies.

Effective immediately, we’re requiring AI data centers to commit to strict environmental and transparency requirements AND receive approval from the local community if they want to build here.

That’s not all: We’re also removing ALL data centers from our Fast Track permit program and stopping any office or agency under my jurisdiction from signing an NDA with AI data center developers.

I’m putting these developers on notice and letting them know that we will not let them bully Pennsylvanians, disregard our constitutional right to clean air and pure water, and drive up our utility bills.

I’m using the full weight of my executive authority to block the objectionable, unwarranted projects and put the nation’s strictest set of protections in place.

Congratulations to Penn State for receiving over $129,000 to optimize the performance of its on-farm anaerobic digester! This innovative technology improves the waste handling process, controls odors, and improves sustainability across the university’s agricultural operations. I appreciate the commonwealth looking out for our student leaders!
