The proposed rate change is ted to increased operating costs, and increased capital ' stment necessary to provide nátural gas service to cus- ers. This proposed rate change does not reflect changes ie cost of natural gas purchased by Avista to serve :omers. Changes in the cost of natural gas are reflected 1 annual purchased gas cost adjustment. he proposed increases above current rates by service idule are as follows: meral Service . Firm.

It' s bad enough that Avista is already getting away with over charging all of the customers and gaining a profit of over 85% from last year. Now they get to try and charge us more, really look at our economy and the amount of people that are losing their jobs, how can you justify any of it. There is no j usti fication why Avista should gain that much of a profit, why add to it at the expense of your consumers who have no option of switching to another power company. I' m a college student that Ii ves with my fiance', he is working more than full time so that I can focus on my school and sport that I' m recieving a scholarship and now I have to possibly have my scholarship revoked because I have to go back to work and can not find the time for it and all because our recent power bill has made it so that we can not pay other bills just to appease the greedy power company. Please take serious consideration and really look into what Avista has done to their customers and their out reach to get through to Avista.

It sime like just about evertime I get my bill they want to have a increase. Do they need this money our do they need to line there pocks. I feel that we pay to much now and we do not need a increase in our utli tys for now. I feel that some of the big company's need to cut pay from the top we do not need millions to live will like some peopie think they do. most of us do not make S0 thousand a year. Well I can go on and on but I well leave it at that.

We've had 2 local sawmills close, one permanent, one temporary, hopefully. About 400 families laid off. This also puts several local loggers out of production too, another 300 or more employees out of work. Last years inflation rate was over 13%, now Avista wants to raise power to residents 8.6% or so. Not fair, they need to buckle down like everyone else. I like quality service, & they do great, but its time for everyone to get creative & yet produce quality service. Its how we've survived for years here in the panhandle. Please ask them to reconsider any more increases until this economy settles out & we all know where we stand. Thank you so much for this priviledge, & for you folks serving the people. Tom Peterson The form submitted on http://www . puc. idaho. gov /forms/ipuc1/ipuc. html IP address is 96.249.121.61 1
