Please describe your comment briefly:
It is infuriating to see how many times Avista has asked for rate increases when personal
pay sees no increase. Indeed although I am lucky to still be employed in this time of job
loss, I am also required to take off one day per pay period so my employer can keep the jobs
from disappearing entirely. Isn i t it convenient that now after winter they are condescending
to lower gas prices during a time when no one will be using much, I know of no air
conditioning that runs on natural gas. I am unable to keep paying these high prices just to
have my home cooled to around 8Ø degrees in summer and heated to only around 65 or lower in
winter. I urge you to reject Avista i s permission to keep screwing the consumer who cannot
afford any more of these rate increases. Between gas for the car, gas and electricity for
the house and less worked hours on the job I cannot afford even the small luxury of a summer
vacation let alone pay for groceries and other things that are absolute needs rather than
wants. Please do not let Avista keep raising things to a point of absolute misery for the
common consumer. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
