Two-thirds of voters say they want a statewide moratorium on data centers, according to a new poll.

Gov. Tina Kotek said Friday that she supports local governments around Oregon that are moving to ban new data centers, but the governor didn’t say whether she would join other Democrats in calling for a statewide moratorium.
