I i ve read in the paper that part of Idaho Power is getting rate increase partly so they can
put more money in their retirement plans. The article said that 10 Power stopped contributing
to their retirement fund when the markets were stronger. If this is true, then I'm concerned
that I should have to supplement the retirement fund for 10 Power employees because the
business stopped contributing to the fund in a better market year. I don i t like paying more
money to boost the retirement fund during a poor economic time because the power company
stopped funding the retirement fund during strong economic times. It seems fiscally
responsible to contribute to retirement funds when the economy is strong and the power
company is not asking for rate increases. In contrast, it does not seem fiscally responsible
to raise rates now because the company stopped funding the retirement fund when times were
good.
Why in good economic times can a business quit spending money, and then in poor economic
times the customers are asked to pay more to make up for the business not paying money during
good times?
