Should just be honest and show what the town has always looked like. It's just fake suddenly making a town look really nice just because important people are comming.

Vendors want it to be spruced up so visitors spend more money there. Its good business.

But that's a different situation. I don't think when important people come to the nation they spend money, the tax payer covers them.

Its the media attention to the visit that brings in tourists to spend. A spiffy city in the newscasts makes people want to go there.

That price and also defense of cost is typical ,common sense isn't .I see things like that at were I work .yank a meter for a complaint but won't replace ones that I can't make out its number to verify or difficult to read.

The ability to manage a budget successfully is also valued. All businesses have finite resources to work with, and must prioritize. Keeping customers happy is a priority for most businesses, since customers are their source of revenue. In the case of regulated monopolies, keeping the customers happy keeps the regulators happy. Keeping the regulators happy means regulators will approve a good profit for them.

The psc wouldn't require a good meter to be replaced, 98 percent accurate or above is allowed. I have warned customers not to switch to digital they ignore me and complain my bill went up,of course as a digital doesn't use power to obtain a read and can detect the tiniest of draws.these types I see replaced when the meter wasn't off.I do see the surveys.water meters in particular ,naught to do with accuracy in the case

They do require that customers be happy. A lot of complaints and the politicians demand action from regulators. Its all about keeping the voters happy, since voters are customers.

I'm happy with my old fashioned analog.

See below post,analog meters,the are the most costly in lost income.read wrong .the only good about them is they are not required to have power to be read.

Rate base/economic regulation involves analyzing requested rate changes and conducting earnings surveillance to ensure that regulated utilities are not exceeding their authorized rates of return;

Electric bills tend to have 2 components. Electricity generation, which is competitive. Shoppers can choose to buy their electricity from a variety of vendors. The other component is electricity transmission, which is the monopoly part of the equation. Florida's governor appoints commissioners to regulate the transmission part of the bill, keeping it within the governor's guidelines. Voters elect the governor, so he wants to keep voters happy.

They put a new moisture meter in when they upgraded to remote monitoring. Supposed to be super accurate. Electric is still analog. They read those manually, so no motivation to replace them (an expensive process). I imagine if they decide to replace all of the old analog meters, they will switch to remote monitoring at the same time.

The presence of many old analog meters are job security for you Jason.

Analog implies other then solid state.

Dial meters are no longer made ,repaired in the u.s.

Look the public service commission doesn't regulate municipal utilities rates.

I don't work for fpl.my city has raised and lowered it rates without Tallahassee knowing the rhyme or reason.

All complaints are handled locally first.if the psc did work for the people the profits grids would be mandated 6 percent profit, they allow 11 to 13 percent .
