Please describe your comment briefly:
WHY SHOULD AVISTA AGAIN BE EXTENDED A RATE HIKE WHEN WE AS CONSUMERS ARE NOT GETTING
INCREASES IN SALARIES. WE HAVE TO CUTBACK AND LEARN TO LIVE ON WHAT WE HAVE. MANY WOULD BE
VERY PLEASED WITH A 4.9% INCREASE AND NOT LOOK DOWN AT 3.1%. THE INFLATION RATE FOR THE PAST
YEAR WAS 2.1%. AVISTA IS VERY GENEROUS IN GIVING OUT BENEFITS TO PEOPLE, BUSINESSES, AND
COMPANIES WITH RATE PAYERS MONEY. I AM SURE STATE EMPLOYEES WOULD BE VERY HAPPY TO HAVE
RECEIVED HIKES IN THEIR PAY
COMPARABLE TO AVISTA GETS AND HAS GOTTEN OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS.
