Nicole Hardy This isn't the first mass poisoning tied to this program and that pattern is the real story. Someone needs to be held accountable beyond one kitchen.

While Trump promotes data centers as drivers of growth, local residents and some Republicans express concern about costs and siting, and Palm Beach County has recently rejected another proposal.
