Please describe your comment briefly:
Since Idaho is a . Right to Work' State, employers are not subjected to offering their
employees a 'cost of living' increase in pay. Therefore, the increase of 14.5% on
Residential Services are absurd; in which, a majority of residents in our area will not be
able to afford this increase. I believe that you will see more monies going to collections
due to the inability to pay; hence, the increase will have to cover the efforts of collecting
for those whom cannot afford it. I would like to propose that some of the costs associated
with the increase should be accounted for from the salaries of those whom work for Avista;
whom are paid at a much higher rate than the average persons. Avista needs to streamline
their business practices to reduce costs and not rape the community of a necessity in which
we have no control. You will ultimately see more welfare cases arise if this increase is
passed as filed. This cost should not only be the sole responsibility of the end user, yet
budgets should be passed in house first.

So you're going to raise our rates and then what? Post record profits and give the CEO
another huge bonus"h'h'.' I hope the State Utility Commission holds Avista accountable and
responsible. It's a big kick in the teeth to your customers to get an increase, Then read
about increased profits and bonuses..h.... Just a concerned customer opinion................

Dear Avista Customer,
You may have heard that Avista recently filed a request with the state utility commission to
raise electric and natural gas rates. This request was necessary to recover the higher costs
we are paying for energy as well as the increasing costs of getting that energy to your home
or business.
State regulators will now conduct a public review process (which could take up to 7 months).
As a regulated utility , it is the state utility commission who will set our prices only after
this thorough review is complete. You can learn more about how the process works by clicking
here for a short video.
Our commitment to you is to listen and share information on energy issues that affect us all.
We encourage you to visit our website at www.avistautilities.com where you will find more
information about the current rate requests and the major investments we're making to keep
serving you well.
Since we launched our conversation web pages and blog last summer, thousands of you have
visited, read posts, left comments through your My Account sign-in or e-mailed us at
conversation~avistautili ties. com. Thank you! We hope you'll continue learning, sharing and
joining this important conversation.
