OCTOBER 27, 2003
FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW I HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT AND LISTENING TO
NUMEROUS ADS ON BOTH TELEVISION AND RADIO TELLING US HOW IDAHO
POWER HAS NOT RAISED RATES FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME.
EACH TIME I SEE OR HEAR ONE I SAY TO MY HUSBAND, YES AND WITH THE
EXTREMELY HIGH COST OF ADVERTISING AND THE FREQUENCY OF THESE
ADS; WE WILL SOON SEE AN INCREASE. NOW I SEE BY AN ARTICLE IN THE
PAPER AND A VERY LARGE COLORED NOTICE IN MY BILL THAT IT IS COMING
TO PASS, IDAHO POWER WANTS AN INCREASE IN RATES,
I FEEL THAT ICUP SHOULD TAKE A LONG , HARD LOOK AT THESE UNNECESSARY
EXPENDITURES BEFORE THEY GRANT ANY INCREASE IN POWER RATES. IN
OUR ECONOMY MANY PEOPLE HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME PAYING FOR VERY
ESSENTIAL ELECTRICITY. IT'S QUITE DISTURBING THAT THEY ARE ACTUALLY
PAYING FOR USELESS ADVERTISEMENT THAT ONLY SERVES TO INCREASE
COSTS.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION OF DENYING AT LEAST PART OF THE
iNCREASE.
