Back in June, I found this amendment to the Waxman-Markey Cap and Trade
bill- limiting solar permit costs for residential at $500 and
noncommercial at 1% of the project cost, up to $10k. Noncompliance with
permit cost requirements would disqualify the entity from Community
Development Block Grants. I don't think it made it into the latest
version, but you Californians should let Cardoza know that he's doing
good work! This is the only time I've seen this addressed at the federal
level.

Aloha wrenches:
I will be involved in a few meetings with City Council members and Building
Officials around Sonoma County, CA, and I want to argue that solar permit fees
should be lower. Do any of you have recommendations for me? I want to argue
that the solar provides other incentives to the jurisdictions besides the
incomes from the permit fees, such as; city taxes collected, environmental
benefits, reliable electric system, etc.
