By Warren Woodward, Sedona Resident(March 19, 2014) On March 4th I filed consumer fraud complaints with the Arizona Attorney General’s (A.G.) office against both Navopache Electric Cooperative and APS for lying about their “smart” meter transmissions as proved in my two recent videos (here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BjMGaQdmxY and here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_TLCd3Litg). Today I got letters from the A.G.’s office saying my complaint “appears to fall within the jurisdiction and authority” of the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC). In my opinion, it “appears” the A.G.’s office is avoiding their statutory responsibility under A.R.S. 44-1522 to protect consumers from fraud.

By Mr. SmithPlease allow me to introduce myself. I am a man of wealth and means. Not the only one here in Sedona but one with opinions and a penchant for sharing them. I make my fortune through heavy investments in the defense, oil and medical industries with smaller investments in private jails, silver and gold. I grew up in New York City and see the world differently than most people.When I hear complaints about the cost of the wars de jour, I am grateful because my margins go up as orders increase for defense materials.
