• La Plata Electric Association BAN (AMI) SMART METERS/AMI's
    WHEREAS significant and serious health, privacy, cost and other concerns have been identified regarding the installation of wireless Advanced Meter Infrastructure at the residence and business of La Plata Electric Association customers and members, and whereas LPEA has plans to proceed to install wireless AMIs although it recognizes there is active discussion and ongoing science debate into the possible health and environmental effects related to RF, and it is aware that on May 31, 2011, the World Health Organization classified radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as a Class 2B, a possible human carcinogen, and called for further investigation. LPEA also recognizes that on January 19, 2012, American Academy of Environmental Medicine, publicly announced, “An immediate moratorium on smart meter installation until these serious public health issues are resolved. Continuing with their installation would be extremely irresponsible”. The below signed also does not give consent for Advanced Meter Infrastructure device(s) to be installed at their private residence or owned business, and does not give LPEA permission to obtain personal information beyond kilowatt(s) used read by any utility meters and anything more will be an “invasion of privacy”. The LPEA Board of Directors has authority to stop all contracts with Tantalus and abandon in total the installation of wireless metering devices/AMI’s, or modify for an opt-in option therefore making wireless metering devices an Opt In program. Those customers who choose not to participate shall automatically be opting out and not be charged a fee, since this is an optional program. THEREFORE, the customers and members signed below of La Plata Electric Association request LPEA Board of Directors give a directive for LPEA to abandon in total the installation of AMI’s, or any wireless communications device(s). If LPEA Board of Directors continues the with wireless meters/AMI’s installation plans, then LPEA Board of Directors are to make AMI’s to be installed upon the customers and members request, customers and members must opt into the program. Customers and members, who do not opt in, automatically are opting out and no extra fee(s) will be charged.

  • COBRA Premium Reduction
    General Information: If you or a family member has lost employment, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) may make it possible for you to keep your employment-related health coverage....This expired when President Obama signed the new Health Care Legislation. My question is why is this not necessary anymore when unemployment continues to be high. This leaves the unemployed without a safety net since the government was paying 65% of the COBRA premium. COBRA premiums can be $500+ for a single person and in the thousands for a family that is unemployed. How did this happen? We keep talking about helping the unemployed and how Americans all need health care but the people who are unemployed through no fault of theirs find that health insurance is out of reach. We continue to assist countries overseas sending them billions but the American taxpayer is left behind. Sad...
