Retailers, restaurants, and environmentalists are all part of a coalition joking referred to as “Baptists and Bootleggers” backing Amendment 4,. The amendment is on the August 30th primary ballot. It allows state lawmakers to remove the tax on solar arrays installed on businesses. State Senator Jeff Brandes says removing the tax will create jobs and save energy.

“This constitutional amendment is very straight forward. It simply allows for us to exempt    from taxation, an onerous tax for solar panels. When people try to do the right thing, by installing solar panels on top of their roofs, they should be taxed for doing the right thing” says Brandes.

Voters approved a similar exemption for home solar arrays in 2008.
