Dear Sirs,C[i5 29 iH 8:l3
My name is Lois Warren and I live in Kellogg,Idaho.I am writing to you today inthe hope that Oi
you will not agree to let Avista raise our rates on gas and electricity as much as they propose.
My husband and I are both retired and live on Social Security.To put it plainly,we simply cannot
afford the rate hikes they are proposing.Everything from water to sewer to groceries have all jumped
enormously this past year and there doesn’t seem to be any end in sight.TV,telephone and insurance
(car,house and health)have all gone up too.We just can’t handle much more.
You know if I need to make improvements at my home,I have to come up with the money out of
what is left of my check.Why do they get to charge us for their improvements,doesn’t seem quite fair.
Maybe they could use some of their profits.Just a thought,
Thank you for listening or reading my letter.
Sincerely,
/1%

Comment:I am on a limited income and live alone in my 3 bedroom home.I have a neuro
muscular disease that is greatly affected by heat.All winter i keep my heat set at 60.I am
not comfortable but it is tolerable.I do this because I need to be able to keep my home
around 78 in the summer or lower if I am symptomatic.I understand that Avista wants to
charge a surcharge to those who do not use enough electric or gas.I conserve for a reason,
why should I be penalized for conserving energy.My income is Social Security only.Please
consider consumers like myself and do not pass this.I have very little wiggle room as it is.
Thank you Elgene (Jean)Clabough

Comment:Dear Commissioners:Avista is asking you to approve a surcharge and i-f approved,they
will then pass that charge on to consumers.They are asking for the surcharge to keep
investors happy.For years Avista and other power related companies have been asking the
public to conserve on energy and water use.We do as asked and our reward is a bill for
energy we dont use.Investments of any kind come with risk.Consumers should be on the hook
for that risk.Please vote against Avistas request.

Comment:Please don’t let Avista Utilities raise rates 6÷%this year and 7%next year.We are
retired and on a fixed income.Those people make $500,000 to $5,000,000 a year for an
income.Nobody is worth that kind o-f money on our backs with no place to turn to for anything
cheaper.And don’t let them come up with a phoney surcharge of 6 or 7 %.When will it stop.
We used less energy so they lower the usage amounts so they can charge more for the next tier
of usage.
please help us
thanks
Larry
