Comment: "Are you out of your minds for even considering this?Idaho power comes to you
every year for a rate increase. The cost of living has sky rocketed and everyone is cutting
back except Idaho power. They have grandiose offices, exorbitant salaries, luxury vehicles,
and they still want more. It's it's time that Idaho power does their fair share in cutting back.
They need to reduce renumeration for executives.They need to cut back on payments to
stockholders. They never are forced to balance a budget and it's about time that they are
forced to do so. Send word by giving them zero increase. Do your job and protect the
citizens of Idaho call for a forensic audit of Idaho power just like doge is doing for the
federal government:'

Comment: "The Idaho Power request to increase both rates and monthlyfee of 17% is hurt
the low and middle income earners throughout Idaho. If Idaho Power continues to supple
much needed electricty to California and other western states, the cost should fall on
those states, not Idahoans who's salaries rank 43rd in the US, but has the 22nd highest
1

cost of living. Raising rates to increase profits when the country is headed into a recession,
interest rates are high, rents are high, and the fodd costs are high. This is an irresponsible
increase for a company whos salaries average way above the state average. According to
Ziprecruiter, the top earners in Idaho have an annual salary of$47,985, this is way below
the average salary of$76,294 to$137,916, an increase of 62%to almost 300%. 1 am firmly
against an increase of 17%for Idaho Power. Please do what is right for Idahoans. "
