Glen, the issue actually has little to do with solar, it centers around the taxing authority or government, the legality of private loans payment through official government taxes, and "Special Assessment Districts". This program is private loans, on disconnected private properties, to benefit individual property owners, secured by repayment trough transferable property taxes, and the taxman is acting as the loan collector. Questionable at best. The potential for future abuse if allowed to stand is enormous. Hawaii has less of a problem as they foresaw the potential Pandora’s box and government can't collect private incurred individual debts through taxation. I'm sure you can understand why Hawaii included this protection in its laws.[
