Non-Investors



I have been watching this debate over smart meters for quite some time.  But Councilman Joe Brown took the cake when he suggested that MLGW could monitor your television viewing. I wonder does this guy actually believe the things he says? Then I listened to Janis Fullilove and her rant. But I'm not buying her argument either. She might have an agenda. She would sound more credible if her bill was current. She is paying just enough to keep her lights from being turned off.

But President Jerry Collins finally said  what I've been waiting to hear. Collins gave a long list of benefits for automated meters including cracking down on utility theft and knowing exactly who does and does not have power in a power outage. I would love to see the numbers on just how much utility is being stolen. I think we all just might be surprised. This is going to happen just like it did with Comcast. Theft of Cable now is zero.

A poster in the Commercial Appeal almost made a valid point. He went a bit to far. "Only hillbillies, snake handlers and Glen Beck listeners are opposed to the smart meter technology.
A hillbilly, a snake handler and a Glen Beck listener walk into a bar.... and they are all the same guy".He left out the squatters. Those people who don't own or want to pay for anything. The non-investors.
