Comment: "The rate increase should be denied. More people are moving in to the area that means more
customers, more money and they are all charged for hookups. Including power poles . If the manager s
aren't keeping Avista in the black, then maybe the way to save money is to reduce their salary. Every
�me Avista wants a raise they get it. Enough is enough. Andy "

Comment: "This comment is in reference to Avista U�li�es request to the PUC to increase electrical
u�lity fees close to 10 percent for upgrades and other needs. I am opposed to this. As an Avista
customer I understand their need to upgrade equipment and stay compe��ve with wages and salaries.
But a one �me increase of close to 10 percent with more increases likely to come in future years is
unsustainable. On an average 100 dollar electrical bill this would add close to $120 a year in u�lity bills.
That is not an insignificant amount. I am opposed to such a large increase and hope the PUC will request
this request and adjust the increase to be more reasonable. "
