Florida Voters Pass Amendment 4; Tax Breaks For Solar Energy

Source: CBS

MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — Voters in Florida have approved a constitutional amendment that’ll provide property tax breaks for people who install solar panels on their homes.

Amendment 4 was placed on the ballot by a unanimous vote in both chambers of the Legislature. The increased value to a home from the installation of solar panels or other renewable energy devices can’t be considered when assessing homes to determine property taxes.

The amendment also removes Florida’s “tangible personal property tax,” which taxes solar equipment installed on properties. Without it, leasing solar systems will be a more profitable business in Florida. Right now, despite abundant sunshine, Florida lags nationally in solar power production. Solar arrays are getting cheaper but are still costly, so providing more access to leasing for all property owners will increase the sun power generated in the state.

Warren: Trump ‘born with cash in his fist and hate in his heart’

“We believe that diversity has made this country strong,” she said. “And racism, sexism, homophobia, hatred, injustice and bigotry have no place here.”


"Hillary Clinton must be the next President of the United States, and Tim Kaine must be the next Vice President of the United States,” the former Harvard law professor continued. “Not ‘can’, not ‘should’, we must make them.”

“We have spent a long time getting to know Donald Trump,” she said of the Republican nominee. “It has felt like a very long time.”

“We know who he is. He is a weak, thin-skinned man, a man born with cash in his fist and hate in his heart.”
