NBC 4 COLUMBUS: "[Husted] backed billions in tax breaks for data centers."

COLUMBUS, OHIO - Coming off of a rough weekend, Jon Husted is facing more tough questions over his record of bringing hundreds of data centers to Ohio. Husted is desperately trying to blame anyone else but himself for sending utility bills soaring, even going as far as blaming Ohioans for data centers in an attempt to escape accountability for his actions.

WATCH:

Jon Husted has been called the "face of data centers" in Ohio for his record of bringing hundreds of data centers to the state while local communities were left with the bill.

Ohio Democratic Party Senior Communications Advisor Tony Wen released the following statement:

"Once again, Jon Husted is looking to blame anyone else for his role in bringing hundreds of data centers to Ohio which have sent utility bills through the roof. Excuses don't pay the bills, and Ohioans will hold Jon Husted accountable in November."
