To the meter makers:
If YOU have done (are doing) nothing WRONG!!!! then WHAT do you have to HIDE?????
Somewhere there is the stench of corrupt/underhanded dealings going on.
And those IN ON IT, don't want the public to know exactly HOW they are getting FUCKED!
Here in Flori-duh, the stench of political corruption was quite evident when the state legislature decided to allow DPuke Energy to fuck over its customers as a result of its manglement decision to perform D-I-Y repairs on the Crystal River nuke plant.

The nuclear plant 'recovery option' was courtesy of the bought and paid for state legislature:

Judging by the fight put up by the meter vendors, those on the receiving end may be on to SOMETHING that someone wants to hide.
KEEP ON DIGGING!!!! Who knows what kind of shit you may unearth.
