Florida Supreme Court denies motions against Amendment 1

Today, the Florida Supreme Court denied the motions for legal filings against Amendment 1 from the Florida Solar Energy Industries Association and Floridians for Solar Choice.

Patrick Altier, president of the Florida Solar Energy Industries Association issued this statement:

“We are disappointed by today’s decision from the Florida Supreme Court as we know Amendment 1 to be a wolf in sheep’s clothing. We strongly believe the proposed ballot measure is deceptive, and call upon the citizens of Florida to vote no Amendment 1.”

Dr. Stephen Smith, of Floridians for Solar Choice, issued this statement:

“We wanted to give the Court an opportunity to clean up the mess they have made by approving this amendment for the ballot. Now its game on: we have a Solar Uprising happening in the Sunshine State. We ask everyone to Vote No On 1 and we look forward to Tuesday when we will kill this once and for all.”
