Aurora leaders are lobbying against an anti-Gaylord bill that doesn't exist yet
It’s not uncommon for interest groups or local governments to go into defense-lobbying mode once they see a bill put forward that they don’t like or even once they hear the details of a bill before its introduction. But Aurora officials on Thursday launched a pre-emptive strike against a bill to hurt the proposed Gaylord Rockies project that they feel is coming — even though they don’t know what its details might be or who might be sponsoring it.

Aurora Energy, Inc. Wins SunPower 2014 “Residential National Intelegant Award”
Aurora Energy, Inc., a Columbia-based solar installer and SunPower Premier Dealer, has received the SunPower “Residential National Intelegant Award” for a residential solar photovoltaic project commissioned in 2014.
COLUMBIA, Md. (PRWEB) March 20, 2015
Aurora Energy, Inc., a Columbia-based solar installer and SunPower Premier Dealer, has received the SunPower “Residential National Intelegant Award” for a residential solar photovoltaic project commissioned in 2014. The company won this national award for its installation of a 16.08 kilowatt (kW) solar power system at the Davis residence in Severna Park, Md. SunPower dealers in North America are selected to receive the “Residential National Intelegant Award” for projects demonstrating the highest quality system design and installation, as well as owner satisfaction.
“We congratulate Aurora Energy, Inc. on the design and construction of this unique, high efficiency SunPower installation, which is expected to deliver reliable solar energy and electricity savings to the Davis family over the life of the system,” said Howard Wenger, SunPower president, business units. “Aurora Energy, Inc. has demonstrated a commitment to excellence worthy of this prestigious award, and we look forward to their continued success as a SunPower Premier Dealer in 2015.”
“The customer’s home was completely shaded by old oak trees with a slate roof that included various complicated pitches making it challenging to install solar, so we focused our efforts on their boat house at the end of a 280-foot pier that had limited roof space, but excellent sun exposure,” said Jason Brennan, Aurora Energy, Inc. Project Manager. “By using high efficiency SunPower solar panels, Mike and Trish Davis were able to maximize the potential of their roof, significantly increase their energy independence, and enjoy a beautiful waterfront view of the sun at work.”
“We received solar quotes from three different installers, and are so pleased we chose Aurora,” said homeowner, Mr. Davis. “The team was professional, timely, courteous, and kept the jobsite clean, delivering a great solar experience. We’d highly recommend the knowledgeable staff at Aurora to others interested in going solar.”
“Aurora Energy, Inc. is honored to receive the 2014 ‘Residential National Intelegant Award’ from SunPower,” said Dr. Mahjouri, CEO of Aurora Energy, Inc. “SunPower’s high efficiency solar technology combined with Aurora Energy, Inc.’s reputation for quality craftsmanship and customer service will help ensure that the Davis’ SunPower system reliably delivers economic and environmental benefits for the next 25 years or more.”
The SunPower best-in-class dealer program supports a network of more than 1,200 solar installers worldwide, with approximately 500 of them located in the United States.

This Is What Happens When Gun Control Advocates Open A (Fake) Gun Store
In an attempt to raise awareness about the dangers of guns, a gun control group decided to open a fake gun store in New York City to see what happened.
On Tuesday, States United To Prevent Gun Violence, an organization that lobbies for expanded gun control laws, released a hidden-camera video showing how potential gun buyers reacted when confronted with the dangerous histories of the guns they were trying to buy.
According to The Washington Post, organizers set up the shop in a New York City art gallery for two days last week. When potential buyers wandered in trying to buy a gun, an actor posing as a salesman told them about the deadly shootings carried out with the guns in the store.
“This is the [gun] that the kid used?” asked one customer, referring to a pistol that a 5-year old used to shoot his mother. “Holy [expletive].”
The video may have given a few potential buyers pause. After the stunt was revealed, several customers reflected on the dangers of guns.
“It made me actually think, ‘I’m not going to buy that gun,'” one customer said.
The National Rifle Association’s New York affiliate immediately condemned the stunt and called for an investigation into whether the organizers violated New York's gun laws.
“[It is a] felony violation of the Sullivan Act for a person to possess a handgun anywhere in New York without a license. The video clearly shows individual 'customers' handling various handguns and doing so in an unsafe manner," New York State Rifle and Pistol Association President Thomas King said in a press release.
The Washington Post reports that the video is a change of tactics for the gun control lobby, which has lost a series of high-profile battles in state and local legislatures. With little chance that gun control legislation will pass a pro-gun-rights Congress, gun control advocates are increasingly making overtures to the American public directly. The gun store stunt may not change legislators’ minds, but it has certainly grabbed eyeballs: As of Friday afternoon, the video had already received more than 1.8 million hits on YouTube.
Though mass shootings in Aurora, Colorado, and at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut have grabbed headlines and briefly swayed public opinion in favor of greater gun control, polls show Americans have actually become more supportive of gun rights in the past couple of years. According to a Pew Research Center poll conducted in December, only 46 percent of Americans said they support expanded gun control, while 52 percent said that protecting gun owners' rights is more important.
