"The emails are further proof that [#JanetMills ]’ opposition to the ban was built on a 'flimsy pretext' and was driven by developers, said former state Rep. Seth Berry, D-Bowdoinham, the executive director of Our Power, a liberal ratepayer group that worked to pass the measure."

#JayME #datacenter developer sought to give Janet Mills ‘cover’ for key veto, emails show
Emails obtained by the BDN show a developer solicited local letters of support to give Gov. Janet Mills “cover” for her veto of a statewide #DataCenterBan.

Published on: July 6, 2026"Emails obtained by the BDN show a developer solicited local letters of support to give Gov. Janet Mills 'cover' for her veto of a statewide data center ban.
"Gov. Janet Mills’ office worked closely with the developer behind a stalled Jay data center project who solicited local letters of support that would give her 'cover' to veto a statewide data center ban, according to emails obtained by the Bangor Daily News.
"The April veto killed what would have been the first statewide ban on new data centers in the country that would have lasted until late 2027, a politically risky move for Mills that came days before she ended her Democratic U.S. Senate primary. Her office had been laying the groundwork to protect the Jay project for weeks before she announced the decision.
"Emails obtained in a public records request from the town of Jay show Mills had concerns about the ban’s effect on the project since at least late March, more than a month before she killed the measure. The project her veto was meant to protect has since stalled anyway, with its would-be operator pulling out in June and prompting criticism of Mills from progressive backers of the ban.
"#TonyMcDonald, a real estate developer with the Portland-based #BoulosCompany leading the project, solicited support for the veto from Jay officials and, later, a labor union with a stake in the project. The emails show that Mills had doubts about the bill over the Jay project since at least late March, more than a month before she ultimately killed it."

Governor Mills vetoed a bill that would have stopped new large data centers. This is the first time a state has tried a full ban, but Maine's governor chose a different path.
