To Whom It May Concern:
I am writmg this letter in reponse to the purposed rate mcrease for natural
gas by A vista.
Why can t they do better management of their company? Every time
there is -a -t-ragedy they have to have an mcrease. Maybe they should look at
-th-ew..agesandexpenses .thatthey-do exceedingly. Since A vista has taken
=G-:vercaltthat we get is INCREASES, INCREASES, INCREASES, and never
any reductions.
I haven t had a wage increase for over 5 YEARS" not even a % cost of
-li-vingllicIe.ase. 1 -eV-fm hav-e:Iw..o jobs -trying ,-te -survive. If this increase is
approved -Iwill-have -t-e -mak-e -a -cltoice-between my Cancer treatment and
bemg wann and comfortable so that I don t get pneumonia.
Weare a low income area with low hourly wage jobs. Why should we
pay CALIFORNIA prices on IDAHO wages. Maybe they should budget
their money better. We have our natural resources to supply our water and
energy .
This increase if approved will bring a great hardship to the retired people
and elderly in this area.
PLEASE THINK VERY CAREFULLY ABOUT THIS INCREASE!!
Sincerely,
Geraldin air
