No debate but a direct mandate on smart meters

Re: The mandated installation and use of smart meters.

Dear Editor,

Re: The mandated installation and use of smart meters.

That word mandated really brings my senses to attention.

Under the guise of better serving the great people of Ponoka, the town council in their infinite wisdom, has pulled a “Nancy Pelosi” (when she said about Obamacare ‘Don't worry about what’s in the bill, just vote for it and we will find out later what is in it’).

No meeting, no debate, just a mandate. Do it.

As our rights as taxpayers are slowly being eroded, the Ponoka town council has shown its contempt for the people they supposedly represent.

If all was above board and beneficial to our town’s people, then Neptune would have been memorialized by countless testimonials of how Neptune (smart meters) have saved them untold money and improved their peace of mind that ruthless town councils have been put in check.

In the immortal words of Harry S Truman," If you can't convince them, confuse them."

Does that remind you of the lack of information or the deliberate misdirection of this mandated order?

Just say NO!

I am tired of these self-important despots mandating.
