To Glenn Shannon – According to APS they have not installed ‘smart’ meters, however, the utility has installed digital meters for “time of use” billing. These meters can easily be upgraded to be ‘smart,’ that is part of the ‘smart’ grid. If that happens, your bills will sky rocket. The reason is that ‘smart’ meters are just one of the many devices that comprise the ‘smart’ grid and once these are all working, they will be communicating with each other, emitting harmful and dangerous frequencies, 24/7 in perpetuity. Every living thing will be affected.

I really didn’t care what type of meter they used as long as it was accurate. I noticed tracking my APS bill that it went up $20 a month after the new meter was installed. Asking around to others it seems their bill went up $20 a month also. Now if this is suppose to save them money on meter readers would think the bill would go down some not up $20 a month

I filed a complaint regarding the ACC violation mentioned above with the civil rights division of the Arizona Attorney General’s office. I also filed a separate complaint about the ACC violating docket procedure (A.A.C. Section R14-3-107). I detailed that violation in a previous letter posted here at the Eye.

The AZ A.G. office got back to me saying they only get involved in fair housing or ADA type rights violations. In fact, they said they actually represent state agencies like the ACC so could not represent me. I asked what I was supposed to do then and they suggested I sue the ACC.

Can you imagine? I am supposed to spend my own money to bring suit against lawbreakers who then get to defend themselves with my tax money!

The Attorney General’s office suggested I might try the U.S. Department of Justice (USDOJ). I basically got the same response from three different people there, including the FBI. They can’t help. Apparently discrimination and law breaking is only worth bothering about when done by the private sector.

As a last resort I tried the Governor’s office. They replied that the Governor has no jurisdiction over any other elected officials and suggested I contact the USDOJ even though I had made it clear the USDOJ would not get involved.

The Governor’s office even suggested I “continue … direct communication with the Commissioners.” Oh right, that’s worked great so far. They always listen me.

So it looks like the ACC gets to lie and break the law with impunity.

In addition to the aforementioned agencies, I have presented the ACC’s lawlessness to all state legislators, the Residential Utility Consumer Office, and 47 newspapers and TV stations in the APS service area.

Just like when I caught APS lying, nobody cares except for a few alternative media outlets like this one.
