Public Utilties Commission:
I do have a comment and I confidently speak on behalf of my constituients as well. This rate increase is
offensive to may to say the least. Avista has chosen to mae a 'sweet' deal with the Tribe and hand over
millons of dollars, bilions before it is all said and done and the tax payig citizen gets a rate 'increase'! What's
wrong with that picture? Do you really thin requestion a rate increase for tax payig huring families wil set
well when you had 'no' trouble fiding 39 millon dollars in 08,09 and 2010 in your savings to payout to the
Tribe and then 700 thousand dollars a year for the next 30 years for storing water! You sure couldn't fie that
kind of money for Benewah County when they stored water for you. There is no way you need an increase!
I absolutley do not agree with giving Avista an increase and it is not necessar after you tur around and give
bilions of dollars away to the Tribe and basic1y wil continue to hand them a check after check for the next 30
years. People are sick and tired of the unfairess of constantly 'paying out their hard eared wages so you can
give it away. With the economy as bad as it is and so may out of work and you have the audacityto.come with
a request to stick it to the families again ! I am adimitly against any increase in rates for aleady huring families
!

Please describe your comment briefly:
When economic times are difficult J it would be helpful if larger companies would consider
those on fixed incomes as only able to pay what we can. This year J people on Social Security
did not get a cost of income adjustment. It seems every business wants at least a portion of
our dollars. Many of us are trying to keep up with the rising cost of living and pay for
goods and services to help us get to work. Please don i t send us shut off notices on passed
due accounts unless our payments didn i t get to you for the month. It would save you postage
costs.
