The amount of information that has been disseminated via the Sedona Eye relating to Smart Meters is mind boggling. Those who have spent hours and hours researching this disturbing event about to occur are to be congratulated for their efforts. That we have elected officials who continue to turn their heads to such vast and factual data is shocking. Or is it?

Presently we have a Mayor who insists on “pre-meetings” prior to regular City Council Meetings (presumably to shorten the length of the “real” meetings.) This of course makes understanding the “real” meetings somewhat difficult because repetitiously the statement “As was discussed during the other meeting . . . ” poses queries as to why wasn’t it “discussed” at the official meeting?

In addition to the alleged reason for “pre-meetings” as being to cut length of City Council Meetings, presently the council’s agenda is loaded with “Special Council Meetings.” For what reason? To have the opportunity of sitting for an additional 2-hours once or twice a week for a group who has an aversion to “lengthy” meetings? And so they waste time and gas by travelling more frequently to City Hall to attend numerous shorter meetings to decide one or two selected agenda items at a time?

Makes one question, indeed, just what is going on here. Little wonder “they” haven’t time to ponder a serious health related proposal such as Smart Meters since obviously their priorities lean toward servicing “special interests” of their own choosing. Hmm . . . ?

Could it be, Warren, that your comment: “But to rule by whim is not only wrong it is also very instructive to see what the whims reflect” might be the very reason the Sedona City Council continues to ignore pleas from a solid segment of the population? Does that not, perhaps, place our own elected officials as being no better than the people about whom you wrote?

So good to hear more cities are banning smart meters. Maybe now our own City Council will have the courage to keep them out of town until PROVEN safe. (Why are they leaving it to private citizens to try to prove them UNsafe?)

Actually, they have not destroyed the analogs. They will most likely be used in Third World countries unless everyone here stands up for our rights not to have ‘smart’ meters intrude on our lives and our health.

Opt out NOW. Do not wait. Send your certified/return receipt to:

Best to get your safe analog meter back while you have time. Some utilities have destroyed the analogs, never to be made again. Do it for your children.

Tracking charges since they installed the smart meter on my home the charges went up $20 per month from previous year. Started talking to others on smart meters and they also said theirs went up $20 a month. So guess it was a smart meter in favor of APS but not the customer.

Sebastopol California City Council makes Smart Meter installations illegal- $500 fine – The Sebastopol City Council unanimously adopted an ordinance banning Smart Meter installation in Sebastopol yesterday. They also adopted a resolution asking the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to allow communities to opt-out of Smart Meters at no additional cost.

Sebastopol became the 15th local jurisdiction to make Smart Meter installations illegal, along with Fairfax, Ojai, Santa Cruz, and Marin, Lake, Mendocino and Santa Cruz counties and others.

Previously Sebastopol had asked PG&E for a moratorium on installations until the CPUC proceeding was complete. PG&E wasn’t complying. Meanwhile their contractors, Wellington were sending installers into Sebastopol, with many apartment buildings and some areas already installed. They will now face fines.

Standing up for right v might/God loves scrappy little Davids standing up to Goliaths.

Truth will be suppressed but it will leak.
