Garrity and Shapiro have accused each other of flip-flopping on data centers. Are they both right?

Governor Josh Shapiro and state Treasurer Stacy Garrity have accused each other of flip-flopping on data center development in Pennsylvania. Both initially supported Amazon's $20 billion data center investment in 2026 but now advocate for stricter regulations or pauses amid public concerns. Shapiro emphasizes 'strict guardrails' for data centers, while Garrity calls for a total pause until community and environmental impacts are addressed.
