Petition for Reconsideration
To:Paul Kiellander,Marsha Smith,and Kristine Raper
Commissioners IPUC
In regards to your recent order 33437 and referring back to my original request to
NO increases,your order should be reconsidered.Just because you all agreed to
1.7 million for electric and 2.5 million for gas in a settlement,does not make it
right during these horrible economic times.I want to know how much of the
inflated settlement goes to salaries for the management of Avista?
As we all know,the public utilities all come in with an inflated requests for
increases planning to settle for less.Never do they come to the Commission and
say,well we can forgo salary increases for a while and we wish to pass this saving
onto the paying public,now do they?
So,all the utilities involved in this “settlement”and their attorneys’have made
money off the backs of the public because of their poorly managed companies
who do not deserve pay increases above the operating costs.This especially is
disappointing during these wind and snow storms recently with many people
without power.Sure I understand nature has some responsibility,but the poor
planning and lack of response to many of these incidents resulted in people losing
more than power!
Do the Utilities provide credit to their customers for the loss of power?I don’t
think so!They just want more money as shown in the settlement!This action is
shameful and needs to be reconsidered.

The Idaho Public Utilities Commission
In regards to the proposed Gas and Electric increases.
The proposed 2016 increases for residential customers is way out of me and
unnecessary.What Avista needs to do to cut costs is down size,j1ing the
CEO’s outrageous salary’Even at 50%,the CEO’s sa1ry isr above e income of
most in Idaho Once the CEO has shown good fai h in taking the cut inay,others
would be more willing to see a reduction in their income a5.well,being thankful
forevenhavingajob.
Businesses throughout this country,during the past 7 pluyears,have had to
either down size or file for Chapter 11.,.
This attempt by Avista to crease the,utilities inothing more than to line their
pockets and make the peo of Koote’j Count’suffer even more with the 18
plus trillion dollar debt.

by the commission to reduce
