[BC] Station fined for overpowering

[Douglas B. Pritchett]

Maybe the Commission should use a "point system" just like most states 
do with driver's licenses. In addition to the fines, a licensee would be 
docked "points" for violations during a defined period of time. If the 
licensee goes over his points, then either the licenese is pulled or 
they have a show cause hearing. That might help mitigate this "fine is a 
cost of doing business" attitude we're discussing.
But  that's too simple,  I know.
