No Worries Over ``Big Brother'' - A bright side to smart meters


Mayor Will Hansma says there's no concern on Spallumcheem council over BC Hydro's plans to install smart meters in every home in the province. That's after council looked over information on the meters and heard from a Hydro delegation Tuesday night. He confirms there have been complaints about the corporation's plans. He says some residents don't like Hydro's ability to monitor electricity use so closely. However the mayor is pleased that meters will allow cheats to be caught, especially those stealing vast amounts for marijuana grows. He says it should allow authorities to catch people with grow ops.
