The proposal (as it will be written on the Florida ballot) starts off: > This amendment establishes a right under Florida's constitution for consumers to own or lease solar equipment installed on their property to generate electricity for their own use. I wish that the article would have talked a bit more about how misleading this sentence is. It makes it sound like Floridians are gaining the ability the own or lease solar panels, when in fact we (I'm a new Floridian) already have that right! It is just a statutory right, not a constitutional one. But reading this, a voter who doesn't know better might think that this is some new right that Floridians didn't previously have. It seems like this bill has a pretty broad list of opponents. How often do you see opponents such as the Republican Liberty Caucus of Florida, the Libertarian Party of Florida, Sierra Club and the Green Party of Florida all on the same side of an issue? So with conservatives, liberals and libertarians against this amendment, it seems like the only real supporters are the power utilities who had to fight before the state supreme court to get the misleading wording accepted. But given the misleading wording, I'm wording that this just might get passed.
