Amendment 1 penalizes solar customers

Got this email, found it interesting:

Dear Friends, 

You have likely received mailers from "Consumers for Smart Solar" asking for your vote on Amendment 1. Help us set the record straight. This amendment is not pro-solar. It is largely bankrolled by the state's power companies and groups with ties to the Koch Brothers. Florida Supreme Court Justice Barbara Pariente has described it as a "wolf in sheep's clothing." It misleads voters by promising rights that already exist while paving the way for unfair fees and discriminatory penalties on solar customers. 

It has no place in our Constitution. Please VOTE NO on 1. See the fact sheet here

The state's association of solar companies - Florida Solar Energy Industries Assoc. - opposes the amendment. The League of Women Voters  also opposes Amendment 1 as do a host of groups across the political spectrum.

See the growing list of over 100 opponents here: flsolarchoice.org/who-opposes-amendment-1/

Don’t be fooled. Amendment 1 will continue to move customer-owned solar out of reach for many of Florida’s families and businesses and drag state solar policy backwards. Amendment 1 Blocks the Sun.
