Guest guest Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Hello Everyone, I live in Michigan and I have just been informed that we may have our first moratorium " banning " smart meters in the city of Warren (which is a pretty good sized city!) I don't have details yet, but THIS IS HUGE NEWS for Michigan. Further details to come on the moratorium this coming Monday. I'll keep you posted. The couple who have been plugged away and pestering Warren's City Council have worked at this tirelessly. Check out their website at: www.W4AR.com/smartmeters Of interest here is they met with our utility company (DTE) and they said " there was no mandate on the smart meters. *Of course this is TRUE. However, many people out here have been threatened by the same utility with a shut off if they didn't get the smart meter put on. Hmmm...... In any case, this is a HUGE VICTORY!!!

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Sorry, the letters are in caps. www.W4AR.com/smartmeters This is just one of many excellent sites on smart meters. www.stopsmartmeters.org is another excellent site.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 My fellow activists in that area have been " pounding " that area since this past January. They are an older couple who were one the first " known " to be " threatened " with a shut off . They took the ball and ran with it, and I am so proud of them. They probably went thru literally hundreds and hundreds of people, until they found probably only 30 or so, who would keep calling city hall every day bugging the crap out of the bureaucrats until they begged for mercy, or in this case, said okay okay, we'll do it if it means you guys will just shut up.
