Bill to Allow Community Solar Projects Clears Senate

"With the weather as it is

Before we go about,

Take a moment to pause

Do we really need to go out?

But if we're overruled

No need for anyone to pout.

So turn on a movie

Let the kids run and shout,

You've truly made the right decision

Of that there is no doubt."
