Wakulla County says vote NO on 1

 Wakulla County has come out against Amendment 1, which Florida voters will decide in the next few weeks.

Amendment 1 is a proposed amendment to the Florida Constitution, officially entitled “Rights of Electricity Consumers Regarding Solar Energy Choice”.

The 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.  

But Wakulla County commissioners say the amendment also contains misleading language that opens the door for utilities to charge solar users a fee under the guise of ensuring solar users are not subsidized.

Wakulla County Board of County Commissioners voted unanimously last week to oppose the amendment.

Amendment 1 is on the November 8th General Election ballot.
