Wonder if they work during the frequent power outages?
The Mayor and Dan Miller wanted an ordinance drawn up, but the rest of the council disagreed. Remember who is on PG&E’s side . . .
City Hall was filled with people who came, many from out of town, to speak against the meters on grounds that they emit harmful radiation and violate privacy by collecting data that won’t be secure and can be used to monitor people’s daily lives.
Software engineer Tim Wilson of Monterey said the meters “seem to have privacy and control issues” along with wireless radiation issues, which critics contend can cause genetic damage or increase cancer rates.
“It’s a big money maker for them,” said Bob Franco of Pacific Grove. “PG&E can find out everything we do electronically” and garner information about individuals’ buying habits, the kind of appliances they own, and when they come and go, he said.

“It cheapens the experience down here to be handed chowder at every place in the wharf they walk at,” says Board Member Kevin Phillips. “We think it’s better off without it.”
Phillips, who also owns Abalonetti’s, said it’s been a problem for years. Now, he thinks it’s out of hand.
“This whole barking and oral advertising that goes along with it,” says Phillips. “A lot of people are uncomfortable with it.”
But other businesses like the Old Fisherman’s Grotto don’t agree.
“It’s a great thing,” says Owner Chris Shake. “Why would you want to take away something that is very positive for the wharf?”
Was only a greens keeper out to get the gophers…
At around 8:30 a.m., a beachcomber reported spotting a suspicious device that looked like two pipe bombs taped together at the base of a 40-foot cliff near the 9th hole at Pebble Beach, according to the sheriff’s office.

“We talked to the neighbors last week, and they understand the need,” Burgess said. “We will be bagging those signs.”
