Florida GOP is playing the same game Democrats played with Kamala Harris by anointing Byron Donalds. Mind you this is before any of us even have the chance to vote in a primary. They are pulling every trick to avoid a real debate.
Apparently, they learned nothing from the backlash that comes with sidelining voters and treating the nomination process like a formality. The message is clear: they think voters will simply fall in line, accept the decision, and move on.
They think you're stupid. They think you're fools. The hubris is remarkable, and the disrespect for the voters they're supposed to represent is even worse.

What Collins seems to be unaware of is most of Florida and its residents DON'T WANT THE DATA CENTERS AND THEREFORE DO NOT NEED THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO CONTINUE THEIR PRODUCTION. Between this and begging for Trump's endorsement? Out...get out and take your gator cult with you
Data centers and AI are driving enormous energy demand, and Florida has to be prepared for it.
If we’re going to support growth, innovation, and emerging technologies, we need reliable energy on demand.
It has to be available now, not years after the infrastructure is built. Florida must stay ahead by investing in resilient, dependable power generation that protects our economy, our grid, and our quality of life.

This is the difference between sounding detailed and being detailed.
@ByronDonalds says the data center conversation needs to be less hyperbolic and more detailed.
He then offered absolutely zero details and moved on
@JayCollinsFL actually gave them.
-Energy first.
-No cost-shifting to ratepayers.
-Water consumption.
-Water safety.
-Water management.
-Grid pressure.
-Second- and third-order consequences.
-AI accountability.
That's what stewardship sounds and looks like.
Not “some communities need the tax base.”
Not “people are being hyperbolic.”
Not a sentence fragment about taxes.
Florida doesn't need leaders who describe the conversation.
Florida needs leaders who can govern the consequences.
Byron talked about needing more details.
Jay actually supplied them.

So @ByronDonalds just said the quiet part out loud: data centers are being sold to struggling communities as a tax-base lifeline, while admitting the discussion isn't "detailed enough."
Then he offers no details and changes the subject.
That's exactly the problem.
You don't build Florida’s future by dangling massive infrastructure projects in front of communities desperate for revenue and then waving away actual concerns as “hyperbole.”
If Byron wants to be “detailed,” then be detailed:
How much water?
How much power?
Who pays for grid upgrades?
What happens to local rates?
What tax abatements are being offered?
What happens when the promised jobs don’t match the footprint?
Who protects small communities from making permanent decisions under temporary fiscal desperation?
Byron as you can tell hasn't thought of any of this and is just using the phrase: "tax revenue" which isn't a governing philosophy.
It's a sentence fragment looking for a policy.
