Comment: "I am writing in reference to the proposed hike regarding case#AVU-E-25-01
whereas Avista is attempting to raise our rates. This is not acceptable as families are barely
making ends meet and able to sustain themselves with the exorbitant cost of groceries,
gas, property taxes and interest rates. You must not continue to penalize your customers.
Please consider reducing corporate salaries.
We believe that Trump's oil policies will also make a huge difference in our power bill so we
expect that to lower our power bill, with no need to raise it.
Do not raise Avista's rates in Idaho!
Thankyou,
Kimberly Shipman
