I am written In regards to the newspaper article in The Times News on Tuesday April 3, 2011
regarding Idaho Power requesting a rate increase.
Does Idaho Power not realize that with today's economy people cannot afford to have thier
power bills raised. I know that it is a struggle as it is now to pay a $100.00 power bill
each month.
I know that if it comes down to having to pay the power bill or buy food for my family
unfortantly I would have to have my family go hungery just so I would pay the power bill so
that they can stay warm.
So I am asking that you think of the customers and vote NO on any power rate increase.
Thank you.
Sincerly,
Dixie Snow

I am tired of Idaho Power asking for more money all the time. Although regulated somewhat by
the PUC, they remain a monopoly, and a fat one at that. Sure, they show little profit on
paper, but they funnel profits through Idacorp to hide their windfall from the general
public. They create golden parachutes for their top executives. They have an overabundance
of late model equipment and inventory. I personally know some retired Idaho Power executives
and I can tell you that they have spent careers outside of reality of what the
lean,competitive business world is really like. The PUC needs to hold this power-generating
monopoly in check, and make them use their own slush of cash to fund their expansion
projects.
