[FairfieldLife] Fwd: Re-elect Rep. Phil Miller

Forwarded from a friend:

A very important correction to a previously misleading e-mail sent out by his 
opponent: 

Dear Progressive Voter,

The Republican candidate for State Representative for District 41 has been 
spreading misinformation concerning the position of the incumbent Phil Miller 
on the smart meter installation. We want to clarify the matter.

Phil has been actively engaged since January, 2018 in working with Alliant 
Energy and the IUB (Iowa Utilities Board) to create a no-fee opt-out solution 
to the installation of smart meters. Here’s a brief summary.
Phil became aware of the smart meter installation issue late last December. 
Phil contacted Alliant Energy (AE) in January ’18 — he spoke with an AE rep at 
the Statehouse where he expressed Fairfielders’ concerns. Phil asked that AE at 
slow down the installation so we could have a proper dialogue and work towards 
a reasonable agreement. 
AE subsequently agreed to make Fairfield the last city to receive smart meters. 
AE talked about putting meters at a distance from a house and allowing an 
opt-out at customers’ expense. 
Phil is appealing to AE and the IUB to have a no-fee opt-out.
If AE won’t back down and the IUB allows the opt-out fee, then Phil will submit 
a bill to eliminate the fee.
No decisions on the fee and other terms for an opt-out will be made by the IUB 
until after a final hearing or comment opportunity in November. 

This election is too important to be decided by anyone’s position on a single 
issue. Phil is a champion of the things that matter to us, as summarized in the 
lengthy summary of all the candidates we recommend that we sent out last week.

Our Comment: Phil listens, learns and works hard to understand issues. Though 
willing to work across the aisle, he has been frustrated as the Republican 
majority ignores the Democrats, passing laws dictated by ALEC that do not serve 
the wellbeing of Iowans generally.

Is a charming story telling. 
 It had a build-up and this was topical a few years ago. 
 A remarkable performance standing up there without notes or prompt of 
powerpoint slides. 

 I listened to it early this morning again on my smartphone as I was doing my 
official Maharishi asanas, before meditating.

 The lecture presentation can work well enough in a perspective through the 
‘message from Maharishi’, and then it heads out.

 It, the 30 Nov. lecture, was cycled through on FairfieldLife when it happened. 
 It was interesting to see how it was digested then.  
 Take a look back at the posts on FairfieldLife from then. 

 I put related links to it in an index as the evolving story that is was.

 Who is this guy? Does his have any followers in FF or elsewhere? His talk is 
almost 3 hours long, but I guess it's worth listening to gather information.
