In an incredible display of arrogance, the City of Naperville and DPU-E laugh in the face of a request for federal injunction by moving forward with the smart meter installation, which began Wednesday, January 4.
According to TribLocal, the city installed 275 wireless smart meters, however, 16 residents refused the meters and turned the trucks away.
These courageous residents will be given 2 more opportunities to refuse the meters before the installer returns with an armed guard.
ARMED GUARDS TO INSTALL ELECTRIC METERS???
This begs the question, why would the city need to hire armed guards to install a meter that is so beneficial for you?
If the smart meter really stands on its own merits, why would residents refuse them?
They refuse them because they can. Supported by the US Energy Act of 2005, ratepayers do not have to accept a smart meter on their homes if they do not want one.
The city does not have the right to force a resident to accept a smart meter.

"The arrogance of the city is unbelievable", states a resident that asked to remain unnamed. "It's clear this is about ego and probably something more. The council has dug a hole so deep for themselves and rather than do the reasonable thing, like wait for a ruling on the injunction, they are plowing forward, blind to the fact that in the face of their own egos, they are going to take residents and the reputation of the City of Naperville down with them."
Naperville's city leadership has turned into a group of bullies who are no longer serving the public interest. (Doug Krause excluded.)
Conflicts of interest are so prevelant that we can't name them all in just one newsletter. Here are just some of the glaring ones:
The city council is acting as the utility board.
The Public Utility Advisory Board (PUAB) is chaired by a Smart Grid Ambassador. Do you think he will be impartial to concerns from residents?
The City of Naperville is under investigation by the Illinois Attorney General for Open Meetings Act violations in conjunction with smart grid steering committee meetings.
Councilman Fiesler, co-chair of the steering committee, is the only person to have requested copies of the referendum filed which would allow residents to vote on this project, yet one lone member of the community filed an 11th hour objection. Wonder how he received a copy of the petition?
The DOE and West Monroe Partners have exchanged emails about inserting speakers into council meetings who are in support of the smart meters.
NCEC, who recieved SECA funds, and whose president personally contributed to Fieseler's campaign is soliciting residents to post pro smart meter signs in their yards.
The lone objector, William Dawe, is a board member of NCEC.
Should we go on?????
