Comment: "I am against any increase to the basic service charge. It has gone up by more than$15 in the
last fewyears. I feel it is not fair to low income,fixed income, small houses, second houses,vacant houses
or people that are saving power. I do not get charged to use the gas pump whether I fill up a gallon can or 30
gallon suv. If you need to raise the rate rase it on the power used, not the basic monthly charge.Why should
it cost someone with a low power usage more to buy power than someone using more power? Maybe
charge new customers a sure charge plus time and material to hook up to
power.
