Subject: Avista rate increases
To whom it may concern :
Avistas latest rate hie raised my power bill around $100.00 higher than
last year bill for the same time period. It's time they leared to budget their
finances like the rest of us have to do . My wife is the bread wier in our
household. She works for one of our areas larest employers Thome
Research. Every year except last yea Thome gave yearly raises and Thome
also dropped its Chrstmas bonuses by around 35% . My wife's Christmas
bonus was over $500.00 less than last year. Ou countr has just had over
100,000 lay-offs in the last few months with more to come. In the area I
live in a few employers have given their employees the option of tag a
reduced wage or lookig for a new job. In ths financial climate we all have
to make do with less. It's just not right that Avista èontinues to get rate
increases in ths financial climate. I heard a few days ago, on our local
news chanel, that they had already ask for another rate increase. Ths
madness has to stop. I remember some year back Avista let go of the man
that changed the company name from Pacific Power to Avista . Letting ths
person go cost the company over 7 million dollar. Ths is the worst
managed company in the world bar none. Avista needs to tighten its belt
and stop tag advantage of it's rate payers. They can not be allowed to
continue to wrte themselves a blan check at rate payers expense every
time they have a problem. It's time the fat cats at Avista went on a diet.

Cc: Idao Attorney General Lawrence Wasden
Dear Sirs;
Once again the A vista Co. is asking for another rate increase and. as you people always
seem to go along with whatever they want, you will okay the increase.
It is beyond my comprehension how you grant the increases when the economy is so
bady at this time. The A vista Co. has just received a rate increase, which they seem to
get each year. Unbelievable!!!! Ths last rate.has raised our utility bils as much as
$10.00 per month. I know of people in the Silver Valley alone that are having to decidehow they will keep war, eat and tae medcations. Some are giving up one or two of
the items. This should not be.
It would be great if just once A vista had to prove all the reasons they claim is what causes
rate hikes. They are not trth. It would be very interesting to know if any of the
CEO's are taking pay cuts, probably not.
The Attrney General for the State of Washington is appealing Avista's request for rateincreases, can't help but wonder what our Idaho Attorney General Lawrence Wadsen is
doing about ths matter.
There are a lot of unhppy Idao People, some are jobless and may are on fixedincomes. One wonders why are the folks in these agencies not looking out for the little .
guy. It is time for your agency to step up and do the right thng and deny these rate
Increases.
We are also hoping our Idao Attorney General, Lawrence Wasden takes some action
regarding ths matter
We also believe the top executives along with the CEO should tae a cut in their salaries
and let ths be knawn to A vista Customers. Every rate increase granted is a cut in our
tae home pay. We are aware that Avista must get some rate increass to stay solvent,
but there must a limit to these approvals.
trly, E fl æØ.ß

Please describe your comment briefly:
Since Avista and other utilities are allowed to petition for rate increases~ I too would
like to petition for a rate adjustment:
On behalf of Avista subscribers~ I petition the Utilities Commission to lower the electric
rate of Avista. The rates they are charging now are hurting those of us who are struggling
to get by and save our homes. Everyone is affected. Please consider lowing their rates by
at least 15%. Thank you.
