It only took Dave Haubert, the new District 1 supervisor, two months to break a significant, big campaign promise.
Vowing during the run up to the election to favor the creation of a âsolar siting policyâ before approving utility-scale solar, Haubert led the 5-0 vote by the board of supervisors to approve the Aramis project last week. Vowing to continue to âworkâ on a solar policy, the environmental and legal flaws of this project were dismissed by the supervisors.
Next month will be an appeal hearing and vote on a second utility-scale solar plant, across the street from the Aramis project. A solar policy will not be in place by that time. Does anyone question the vote of Haubert and the supervisors?
