If the owner were to put fucking Solar Panels on his house, not only would he get
a tax break, Obama would probably drop by and give a campaign speech.
 Quoting: Borat Sagdiyev


Hey man, try not to talk too much shit about solar panels. Electric companies will pay you for any excess energy that feeds back into their grid.

Wait a minute...I wonder if I could buy some land with the express purpose of covering it with solar panels so I could get paid by the electric company?

There's plenty of morons who think of alternative energy as a "religion."

They get tax breaks from the government, and oftentimes getting a tithe
from the Dept of Energy.


But when a religion asks for a legitimate tax break, they get hassled
by bureaucratic assholes, like these assholes in Phoenix.

A pox on them all.

Re: Ariz. Preacher Sentenced to *JAIL* After Building 'Private' Church in Backyard....
Arizona preacher Michael Salman was sentenced to jail for building what the City of Phoenix claims he has been representing as a church on his home property without securing the proper permits. Salman claims the building is not a church and is simply for private Bible study gatherings.

Salman's case, which started in 2007, reached its conclusion this week when a Phoenix court ruled that he was guilty of more than five dozen violations in constructing the building and sentenced him to 60 days in jail and three years of probation.

The preacher, whose ministry is called Harvest Christian Fellowship, claims he was exercising his religious liberty by worshiping at home on his private property, and that his gatherings were no different than when people hold Super Bowl or Christmas parties.

"You're taking a man out of society and sticking him in jail for worshiping at his home," he told a local news station.

The issue with Salman's case was a building in his backyard, which the City said he constructed without abiding by legal codes and safety standards. The building, reportedly used for weekly gatherings of about 30 to 40 people, has a pulpit and chairs. The building, located on his 1.5-acre property, is about 2,000 square feet and was previously labeled a "game room" by Salman but organized on the inside for worship services.

Salman, who describes himself as a "Pastor of the Christian faith" and was ordained in 1996 by Church of God in Christ elders, has spoken out on the case in several videos published to his YouTube Channel.

If I knew what the permits were for, if their is a dis-agreement they can make you tear down with what you build..

and why prey tell (no typo) do you imagine he didn't bother going through the proper guidelines/channels with reference to building ordinances that have been on the books for AGES

long before he was in way over his head on the construction end of things?

it does give one pause, at the very least.

was it perhaps because he checked into it and discovered that he wasn't going to be allowed to start contracting thusly?
