[RFI] FW: Sweden imposes higher levy on electricity bills for EMC | Southgate Amateur Radio News

You already pay tons of taxes for your government, which is supposed to 
serve you - not the other way around - to deal with this mess.

And if you believe that giving them $600. will solve the problem - you 
don't understand the way that bureaucracy works.

There will always be a new excuse for not solving the problem - and a 
new fee (or fee increase).

Tell your elected representatives to enforce existing law, or fix it, 
then use the massive resources they already have to get it done - or 
lose the next election.

That's how problems, that cross property lines, are addressed.
