It is our understanding that Intermountain Gas has partitioned the
State of Idaho for a 320/0 increase in our gas bill to heat our
homes.
Homeowners are experiencing a big deficit in our household
accounts. It is to the benefit of all of us to help hold increases to a
minimum. Schoolteachers are taking cuts, Micron employees are
being laid off or taking cuts. The majority of all business we work
with is seeing a big decline. Weare seeing increased expenses in
all phases of our economy. We have just had a sales tax
increase. Now is NOT the time to INCREASE THE BILL ON
OUR HOME REA TING EXPENSE.

To Whom It May Concern:
A 38% increase in natural gas is absolutely ridiculous. You have these so called "High Tech Natural
Gas Generating Facilities" that produce electricity. You use natural gas to make steam when you could
use coal or even sagebrush.
But, the point is this. The Natural Gas Company goes to the P.C. and wants to raise the gas rate 38%
and then working in cahoots with the gas company; Idaho Power will go to the P.C. and ask for an
increase in power rates. Those two producers of energy should be ashamed of themselves for even
asking for a raise.
The public is well aware of what they are doing by requesting an increase in the cost of energy. It is a
win-win situation for them and a lose-lose situation for the public.
, the people should have kept pushing Idaho Power to put in more dams because that is a renewable
energy source and would provide a great recreational benefit for the people ofIdaho. Ifwe can put a
man on the moon, we should be able to get fish over, under, or around a dam.
Ifbread is the staff of life, try growing crops without water, which is the blood of life. The meeting
regarding the request for a 38% increase in the price of natural gas was not very well publicized to
allow the public to attend and voice their opinions.

I feel the rate increase for gas in Boise should
not be raised. I use gas ~or heatinp and forilater.
I am a Senior Citizen on a fixed income and feelthis increase is unnecessary. With the presenteconomy si tuation and increases in property t~xes
8nd utilities , I would greatly anpreciate it if
this raise Wp s turned down.

Re: Proposed Gas-Rate Increase
Dear Commission
The purpose of this letter is to provide you a written response in opposition to the
proposed rate increase by IntermountainGas. Please consider rejecting the increase as it
is excessive for Idaho s sluggish economy and it will be an unplanned, unbudgeted
expense for state and local governments.
According to the Idaho Statesman, the proposed rate increase would provide for a $61
million net increase to Intermountain Gas to cover the costs for prices paid for natural
gas. If approved, the $61 million will be permanently removed from Idaho s economy
and sent to an industry that does almost nothing to stabilize prices, increase supply, or
promote conservation.
If the proposed increase is allowed to become effective in July 2003, it will bean
unplanned, unbudgetedexpense to state and local governments that are currently in the
middle of their already strained budget cycles. Notifications of pending rate increases
have been inadequate.
In 2000, Intermountain Gas was granted significant rate increases, justified by the laws of
supply and demand. At that time, we were assured with good news by Intermountain
. Gas
, "
that with these increases in prices paid to energy producers, a significant increase
in drilling has begun," and that "Therefore, we expect that prices will begin declining by
next year s heating season." These types of promises appear to be short sighted, and do
little to promote stability.
The Idaho PUC and other states in the northwest need to be proactive at this time, to
regulate the price of gas, and to determine appropriate effective dates to implement
moderate rate increases, as needed. Idaho residential and commercial gas customers have
no ability to shop for the best prices of gas, and the laws of supply and demand should
not rule without checks and balances.
As always, I am confident that the PUC will determine and approve what is to be in the
best interest for the people. of Idaho and Intermountain Gas Company.
Sincerely,
-/ ;;

State of Idaho for a 32 % increase in our gas bill to heat our
homes.
Homeowners are experiencing a big deficit in our household

laid off or taking cuts. The majority of all business we work with
is seeing a big decline. Weare seeing increased expenses in all

It is our understanding that Intermountain Gas has partitioned the
State of Idaho for a 320/0 increase in our gas bill to heat our
homes.
Homeowners are experiencing a big deficit in our household
accounts. It is to the benefit of all of us to help hold increases to a
minimum. Schoolteachers are taking cuts, Micron employees are
being laid off or taking cuts. The majority of all business we work
with is seeing a big decline. We are seeing increased expenses in
all phases of our economy. We have just had a sales tax
increase. Now is NOT the time to INCREASE THE BILL ON
OUR HOME HEATING EXPENSE.
Sincerely,
rI1 o/k
This increase is going to happen to all of us if we do not respond to
the C. (Idaho Public Utilities Commission) no later then June
2003. We have an opportunity to stop this increase if we all act
now bye-mail or sending letters such as this, NOW.

business bill for gas is currently about $50k a year. increase would be
devastating. Those that have control of the utili ties have responsibili ty that there

much better.

Andthen IGC would then ask for another increase to cover?Also , why did they give a decrease last year? Are they not responsible to look at long-term costs , demands , etc.Why a big drop last year and a HUGE increase this year?And lastly, why now? Right when people will be using the cooling systems and their billswill be significantly higher?

Seneca Dr.Ci ty: BoiseState: IDZIP: 83709HomeTelephone: 208-562-1827E-Mail:Company: Intermountain Gasmailinglist _yes _no: yesCommentdescription: How do they justify this kind of an increase? It appears that thisrate increase is insurance against supposed increases due to gas shortages. Just a shorttime ago I saw tv ads promping people to go to natural gas - now all of a sudden we have shortage causing higher prices. It is hard to believe that if a rate increase werenecessary that it would be of this magna tude. Unless of course , the current monopoly heldby very few suppliers is following the same strategy as gasoline suppliers , which is themanipulation of supply to show a percieved shortfall. The public is already tapped out ontheir abili ty to further tighten their bel ts , which the public would like to see , butshould not expect to see from a monopoly supplier who has the public in the palm of itshand. The role of the PUC is to help the public , not grease the skids for the monopoly, no
matter how well they shadow their need. Their request seems like a small thing - unless
you were on a fixed income and had to line up your bills and decide which you will have
pay and the rest will just have to wait - and you then add to their heat bill - just
in case you need it?

I live in Pocatello , yet had no idea any such hearingwould be held. I wasn t aware of any hearing to be held in Pocatello. Perhaps I amamiss, but the first I heard of any hearing on a proposed rate increase was listening the local news yesterday. Others must be in the same si tuation as I , since only a handfulof people appeared at the hearing.
Second , what could possibly justify rate increase? What verification do I and other
patrons have that this request is warranted? I was informed that the wholesale costs fornatural gas have increased , thus , the rates must be increased. Does this mean that
Intermountain Gas , in an attempt to line its pockets , sold its rights to its gas to
another company and needs to purchase someone else I s portion in order to supply
Intermountain customers? I find it difficul t to believe that , in this terrible economy, a
rate increase is needed. I wonder , will Intermountain Gas request that its rates be
lowered in the event the so-called wholesale prices decrease? I highly doubt it. The
last request made by this company to increase its rates was based on the rising gasolineprices. Since gas prices have leveled off I have yet to hear of Intermountain Gas
offering to lower its rates.
Intermountain Gas I ads told customers and prospective customers to purchase natural gas
because it is "cheap Perhaps they need to modify their future ads.

Complaint description: I want to comment on the proposed increase in Gas prices this
summer. Wi th the economy in a downward trend , our company will really suffer if this
proposed increase is approved. We pay utili ties on our apartment building for the
tenants , and it will be immpossible to pass this cost on to our tenants. Leases are
signed , and a increase will kill us. This is too much to put on customers at one
time , especially when companies like ours cannot pass the costs on to our customers.
Everyone is trying to increase costs and increases are coming in from all directions.
State tax increases , property tax increases and the like are putting terrible financial
burdens on residents in Southeast Idaho. I understand the need for the Gas company to
cover costs , but this kind of increase is too large for many customers to absorb or pass
on to other customers. Please do not support or approve the proposed increase.
Thank you

intermountain gas. Surely the management in its infini te wisdom would know if the gas
price is going higher from the supplier over the years , this is a complete and total
outrage!
Who hired these dum dums

Why should we have to pay for their mistakes at such
tremendous price hike? I propose you fire the manager and hire a new one at a low rate and
use that money to pay for the increase in price , to make up the difference for that that
the manager missed. I am getting sick of companies taking advantage of and oPportunising
on a situation such as the gulf war.
What kind of excuse will they think of next? This is like dealing with little 3 year olds

The only word I canLocal TV reported only one person showed up to testify on the rate increase in IdahoFalls. That I s probably because many of us , due to the economy, are working two and threejobs just to pay our bills.I would not take this as a mandate that customers are ok wi th the increase. I wouldsubmit they have an attitude of "there I s probably little I can do to stop the increase why fight the utili ty. "
It would appear that most of the increase is due to hikes in storage and transportationcosts. I thought Intermountain owned their own distribution and storage system at onetime. Apparently not now.
Pipelines and storage facili ties have been in place for decades. I would think those costs
would only go up slightly from time to time.not 1/3. Why are those costs from other
companies skyrocketing? Why isn t Intermountain doing a better job of negotiating
contracts? I think there are a lot of ques tions that need to be as ked. The public being kept in the dark and fleeced at the same time.
Government economists are saying inflation is remaining low at 2 to 3 percent.
Intermountain I s increase , you can be that won t be true in this region.
With
I understand the principles of supply and demand. Gas market prices do fluctuate.
However , If Intermountain is being held hostage by Williams and companies that provide
storage , then they had better look for more economical solutions to this aspect of the
business. I don t think we are hearing the whole story.
I would submi t a price increase of no more than is adequate. One postscript I might
add: this is very poor timing gi ven the fact that the entire state I s economy is in the
dumper.

I I m sure there is another way to solve your economiccrises. I also fell this will put a strain on small businesses. Which will result inhigher prices , or just put them out of commission completely. There will also be morepeople in need of assistance to pay their natural gas bills. I hope you will give thesethoughts some consideration when making your decision.sincerely,Jon Mickelsen

There are hundreds , if not thousands , of familiesin the Intermountain Gas customer base that simply cannot absorb that kind of price hikein their budgets. Most of the companies that have not laid people off have frozensalaries and in a lot of cases reduced salaries of their workers. People are having give up some of the necessities of life as it is. This would just add to their misery.What are the families wi th only one income , single parents and the elderly or disabled onfixed incomes supposed to do? I am trying to survi ve on a single income and can barelymake it as it is. My mother who is 80 gets less than $1 000 per month to live on. I workin the commercial collection department of a maj or bank in Boise and see many businesses
in Idaho failing because of the sluggish economy. If you agree to increase gas rates
requested I believe it would put many of those who are just managing to hang on over theedge. Please do no allow this increase.

Rimview wayBoise, Id. 83716208-344-2298I have had trouble in the past with the gas co. I have not been able to get my records from the gas co. to review my bill tounderstand where my money has gone. I cannot get answers on my bills as to why there have been sporadic increases.I have called PUG in the past for help on these problems , but they just said they looked into it and l owed the money.Even though my bill more than doubled in one months time. I did request they check for a gas leak , but they said theylooked but everything was fine.I do not feel that a rate hike of this magnitude would be warrented at this time , if they cannot give any better service thanthis.Even though I was told I should see a decrease in my bills I never have. I would feel that a 150/0 increase with morelater, if needed , would be a better solution

A moderateincrease for a longer time would do the same thing. They appear to be anticipating problem and yet they talk about too much of the product being produced earlier. Why don Ithey do more proactive thinking instead of reacting after the problem arises? Seems to methat they are only looking to gain form reacting instead of thinking ahead.What if the prices don t go up are they going to gl ve the money back? I think not.It is no wonder that there was no one at the hearing. The first that I heard of it wasafter it had occurred and was on the news.

They have said thatif and when the rates got back down , they will ask for a decrease in the rates paid by usthe consumer. I don t see where they have dropped the rate at the same rate they haveraised it. For instance if they are asking for increase , when the rate that theypaid is dropped , we don I t recieve the full amount of the drop, nor do we recieve it at thetime of the drop. I think that the raise , if one is needed , should be about half of whatthey are asking for. I also expect the Idaho PUC to be the watchdog for us in thesematters, and we as consumers should not have to even be concerned about the gas , orelectric companies getting raises that are more than they should have , just becaue there
isn t much input from the consumers about the issue. Thank you for your listening to my
ideas. Harold G. Elgin
