'No' on Amendment 4

Here we go again: Another proposed constitutional amendment on Florida's ballot that reads and sounds like Apple Pie goodness.

But that darn devil is always lurking in the details.

This is Amendment 4. If approved by 60% of voters in the Aug. 30 primary elections, it would codify in the state constitution tax breaks for having solar or renewable energy devices on all property. Specifically, the amendment would exempt solar or renewable-energy devices from the state's tangible personal property tax and from being included in the value of the annual assessment on your property for ad-valorem tax purposes.
