B.C. Hydro trying to intimidate smart meter holdouts

Obviously they are expecting a decision on their behalf, and are jumping the gun by sending out intimidating letters.

To the Editor,

B.C. Hydro is being very aggressive in its endeavour to overcome the will of the people to hold back on the smart meter issue. B.C. Hydro has sent out letters to all the smart meter holdouts, stating that they will be charging $35 a month extra on your bill as of January 2014 if you keep your old meter. And then they state that the British Columbia Utilities Commission will be reviewing the costs.

Well, how can they tell you that they are going to charge you $35 a month if the BCUC has not reviewed this issue?

Does that mean that Hydro has the provincial government and the BCUC in its back pocket? Obviously they are expecting a decision on their behalf, and are jumping the gun by sending out intimidating letters.
