State Senator Cesar Blanco from El Paso has four of his ideas included, focusing on water planning, economic checks, infrastructure strains, and public safety. The charges aim to address community issues stemming from rapid growth, with a particular emphasis on the data center boom and its impact on the tax system, power grid, and infrastructure.
