Being on a fixed income with no increase the past two years and possibly a third, and
everyting from food, gas, taxes, utilities, clothing, going up, this is just one more thing I
cannot afford. I also speak for other senior citizens in my area who feel the same way. We
have to eat cost of living increases and tighten our belts a little more. Why can't utility
companies do the same. Or are their stock holders more important?

Please describe your comment briefly:
I am respectfully requesting that the PUC not approve Rocky Mountain's (RM) 2011 rate
request.
We moved to our current location in Idaho in November 2007 and became RM customers. Starting
in November 2007 and continuing until June 10, 2011, we have lost power a total of 143
different days. Most of the days (127 days) that we lose power, it is for less than 30
seconds at a time. This is a nuisance as we must reset every electronic device we have in
the household. On the days that this occurs, it will happen 4-10 different times during the
day.
The other days that we have lost power, the power remained off for at least 10 minutes and up
to 10 hours. On all of these days, no storms were occurring wi thin the general area and no
major accidents involving substations had occurred. In short, there was no logical,
reasonable cause for the outages. They all appeared to be failures wi thin RM' s system.
A system such as this is irresponsible and inexcusable from a business standpoint. If a
business cannot conduct i tsel f better than this, then maybe someone else ought to run it.
Ei ther way, I should not have to pay for their incompetence.
