Comment description: There needs to be a point in time when the Avista comapny realizes
that their consumers can no longer afford to pay the continual increases put before us.
It is always the easiest solution to pass on the increase to the customer but what happes
when the customer can t pay the bill? I feel it is time for Avista to tap into other
resources to compensate for the "changes in the wholesale cost of gas.We all have to
adj ust to the increase in the cost of living, but we don t have liberty to pass on the
expense to the person who pays us each month. Avista, you are wrong and your request foran increase must stopped.

In regards to the increase in rates that Avista Utilities wants to charge
to the customers. I believe they are again asking to much. They have
had several increases in the past few years. This has placed a real
burden on the customers on fixed income. They want to charge the
customers for there investments, instead of there stock holders. ( The
Oregon power company they just bought.)
I realize fuel costs have gone up, and not just because of the
weather. The stock holders take there chances on making money just
like other stock holders do. I read that Avista wants to return 10.40/0 to
there investors. I wish I could get that return on my money.
There is to much greed in this country. With the high cost of gasoline
and heating fuel , the average person is the one that suffers.
I hope you will consider the average person, and people on fixed
income, before you grant Avista any more increases.
Sincerely
V. L. Green
