Do not lease solar panels.
If you can afford paying cash or financing some other way they are a pretty good investment.
If you can’t, you should not get them.

Doesn’t matter, this is a nothingburger.
The state returned payments to you, so you didn’t pay state tax. Since you didn’t pay the tax, the tax you didn’t pay is now not deductible elsewhere (for the small percentage of people for whom this matters).
I hope the state government refunds even more tax next year. Good that Baker set the precedent for how this must be done which will make it very difficult for Healy to do it another way.

Then you must see the difference between a job that can be quit at any time for any reason and some kind of indentured servitude “contract”.

This is the kind of thing we need ballot initiatives for, not raising taxes on millionaires.

They can make as much fun as they want. They just have to pay it.

Maybe they wouldn’t. They probably wouldn’t. Wouldn’t stop me from trying.

Maybe, maybe not.
All the same, if I ever go back in time to the Middle Ages I’m going to tell people to kill every single rat they ever see.
And boil all the water they use for any purpose, to the extent practical at least.

You know you’re sus when your weak alibi only works if you convince investigators that you casually violated your home arrest from an unrelated crime.

Whatever you do (presumably you are asking for government action) will just make the economics of delivering natural gas and electricity to consumers less attractive. I don't really want any part of that.

Are you willing to work for half your salary?
Even if your hypothetical was true, profit is a critical part of the operation. Why would anyone bother to provide electricity otherwise?

There is no rational reason to vote FOR this amendment.
I assume all supporters of this amendment paid the optional 5.85% tax this year since they believe the state is so starved for revenue.

Who cares. Still not a reason to vote for question 1. Vote no.

People buy property speculatively all the time with the goal of overturning stuff like this. Buying property is not some kind of agreement to abide by any unjust previous encumbrances on the property.
The easement either is or is not properly granted. If it isn’t, it should be overturned and the town should buy the property by eminent domain if it’s so important.
