Rob Toyer has my vote for Snohomish PUD Commissioner He is an insurance consultant, loan officer, investment advisor, and former Marysville city council member.
Rob’s opponent is Sid Logan. Logan voted to spend $90 million on a wasteful and unnecessary smart meter project designed to eliminate meter readers. Smart meters report by radio.
There is a cheaper way to read meters. Connecticut Edison set up a website, to which customers report their own readings. Customers who fail to report are billed $19.
Result: $90 million saved by not implementing smart meters. More saved by using self-reporting.
Smart meters are technologically defective. They are not grounded, not surge protected, and catch fire. They cost more, break down in five to seven years, are inaccurate, and can be hacked. They blanket the neighborhood 24/7 with carcinogenic radiation. Many are sickened. They report 190,000 times daily on our every electrical behavior. Lloyd’s of London refuses to back insurance against harms caused by their electromagnetic radiation. Washington law requires a circuit breaker. Smart meters have none. Smart meters are flatly illegal.
The all-metal analog meters that would be replaced last 30-40 years. They are “an amazing piece of engineering work … an impressive combination of economy, accuracy, durability, and simplicity.”
Logan allowed 16 expert witnesses to testify in favor of smart meters but none to testify against them.
Rob believes in fair and open hearings. He opposes smart meters. Vote for Rob Toyer.
