Comment: "It is unconscionable that Avista now comes to the PUC to raise its rates by 20% in two years.
What happened to the go away money from Hydro One ? Did that just get eaten up in raises and
bonuses for the board? Avista is one of the largest land owners in Spokane and its Alaska subsidiary
owns 2 gold mine with proven reserves of $ 1,000,000,000 or more. It even alludes in its presser that its
assets have appreciated drama�cally as of late. Where is the line drawn between a publicly regulated
u�lity’s assets and its case to necessitate dras�c rate increases. Avista bills itself as a publicly spirited,
caring company, but then hits the ratepayers when they are on mat due to economic instability ,
interest rate increases, and overall infla�on. Avista is the company that tried to sell out for a dime on a
dollar to Canada’s Hydro One and it’s overseer, the CCP TURN DOWN ANY RATE INCREASES FOR AVISTA.
Let them divest some assets! Lets delineate what assets are fair game in a rate case. How can these
assets be separated from the rate case’s calcula�ons of necessity? How can Avista sit on Billions of
dollars of assets and cry for a astronomical rate increase? This is not fair to the ratepayers. Please do not
approve any rate increase for Avista this year or next year !!!"

Comment: "Please do NOT approve any rate increases for Avista. It is wholly unnecessary due to the
assets that are owned by Avista and its subsidiaries that can be divested."
