Comment: "Gree�ngs,
I oppose your plan to increase costs to consumers. Costs of everything are sky rocke�ng while wages,
re�rement annui�es, and Social Security are not. Is it any wonder homelessness and poverty are also
skyrocke�ng? Will the costs increase at the same rate for businesses or will homeowners and renters
bear the brunt? Those who will be hit hardest with these increases are the ones that can't afford to
adequately insulate their homes and install more efficient windows, doors, appliances, and climate
control systems that reduce consump�on. All these upgrades are more expensive than ever. and far out
of reach. Please give us a break instead of breaking our backs.
Thank you."
