Dear Chair Barrett, Chair Roy and Members of the Joint Committee,

I support H3230 and S2164: Acts Allowing Municipalities to Reasonably Regulate Solar Siting

Make Your Points. 

• Keep them personal. 

• Stories are good. 

• Data gets lost unless it puts things in perspective

• Consider referencing experts like the UN’s IPCC or the state’s recent “Forests as Climate Solutions” initiative. 

End With: Ask that the Committee vote H3230 and S2164 favorably out of committee.
