Please describe your comment briefly:
NO to Idaho Power's request for a rate increase. Their billing statements looks worse that
Quest Communications with all its charges and surcharges.
They want their customers to pay for all their expenses plus installation of new
construction, etc. In other words, they want their cake and eat it too!
I am tired of subsidizing their operation. They are just milking the public for all they
think they can get!
