Information & Perspective by Warren Woodward

Introduction
Last December I made a Public Records Request of the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) for all emails having to do with the Arizona Department of Health Services “smart” meter study. Last January the ACC provided me with 2,899 pages of emails and documents. Upon reading them, I realized the ACC had violated Public Records Law by not providing me everything they should have and also by arbitrarily redacting what they did provide.
So last March I told the ACC they had botched my request and needed to do it over completely. In the middle of last month I received the ACC’s redo.

Excellent research results. Isn’t it interesting how ACC tried to obfuscate there was ever anything in writing to support its request of ADHS to perform a health study to see if there were health effects from smart meter wireless emissions? Sedona Smart Meter Awareness asked repeatedly for this document, but even more appalling was that infamous August 5, 2013 meeting that some of us listened to in real time. We asked for a transcript of the meeting and were told there was none, but lo’ and behold one magically appeared in December, 2014 to Commissioner Brenda Burns as she mentioned it during the meeting. Once we received it, it didn’t reflect even the part of the meeting we did hear. I’m sure now that that loud banging we heard during that meeting, instead of the ACC Commissioners’ conversation, must have been intentional – like the redaction in the emails.
I’m ashamed to admit I voted some of these nefarious characters on to the Commission. If only moral and ethical people would run for office we wouldn’t have to spin our wheels and could find real solutions to what we face.
