5 Arguments to End Chapter 313 Incentives for Solar

• Low Job Numbers.  In 2018, 2 of 30 applicants said they would create the required 10 jobs
• Late Applications. Applications are submitted after projects have commenced
• Its ok because Sally & George did it too.  Applications have been approved because other applicants failed to meet standards so its ok that that applicant can’t meet standards either.
• Schools. Chapter 313 funds come directly from tax revenue that would otherwise fund schools
• Projected Costs  $1.1 billion a year by 2024
