Mike Rogoway

It was all so confusing for me as I was trying to sort of unpack this story as well.

Like, wait, didn't we already do this a couple months ago? Uh, and I leaned on some great reporting by Mike Rogoway at The Oregonian, as well as Dirk VanderHart and Antonio Sara at OPB for this.

Uh, what you're talking about is back in September, the governor came out and declared that she would support a statewide moratorium on data centers, but that it's basically on the legislature to figure that out.

She said at that time, quote, "This is what I can do right now under Oregon law," and that involved asking the state to pause approval of certain transactions related to data centers.
