The
Michigan House Energy Committee continues to hold hearings on the Analog Meter Choice Bill, HB 4220. It
is very important to submit comments to the committee and to let all other state legislators know about these bill increases.

Make sure to save what you write up. You will need it in the future.
What to Say
1.
We
have outlined what you need to say at Huge
Electric Bill Increases. You
can see a sample letter I sent in at DTE
Defrauding Customers.
2.
You
will compare not the dollar amount of your bill
but the kWh (kilowatt-hour) usage from the same months in different
years. That is easy to do, because DTE give you that information on the front
of your bill. The longer you can go back in time, the
better.
3.
At
the end of your letter, tell the legislators that the only meter that can
accurately measure your ACTUAL electricity usage is the analog meter. You can
also tell them that the smart meter and any digital meter can be configured to
measure in any way it wants, because it’s a computer. You can also mention that
smart meters can be hacked. Be sure to put this in your own words!
If they get bunches of letters with the same wording, it has less effect.
4.
Tell
them that you want a meter that measures your electricity usage accurately, and
for this reason you want House Bill 4220, the Analog Meter Choice Bill, passed.
Make sure you write your own state representative and senator (and tell them you are their
constituent). We urge you to write all Michigan representatives and senators (copy-and-paste lists
at the links). Put whatever title you want in the subject line.
Below are lists of House Energy
Committee Members. For what you are sending to the committee, you must make
sure you put “Testimony for February 13, 2018 Energy Committee Hearing” in the
subject line.
