Comment description: I am opposed to another price increase for Intermountain Gas. There
have been too many in the past 3 years. Several years ago I was told by a PUC
Commissioner that there is no shortage of natural gas; only a shortage of delivery systems
to get it here. I think heavy pressure should be put on Intermountian Gas Co. and our
legislators to open the way for additional pipe lines with greater access to natural gas
supplies. A year or two ago I noticed that Vice President Cheney was instrumental in
getting approval for additional pipe lines for natural gas for Colorado and Wyoming.
Republican as Idaho is, this should also be going forward for Idaho. There are too many
price increases raising their ugly heads " now with gasoline, milk , taxes, insurance,
automobiles, and most everything including interest rates about to go up. It is making it
harder and harder for those of us on fixed incomes to keep up. Apparently natural gas is
an area where supplies can be increased, and prices brought back DOWN with additional pipe
lines for increased delivery. Please rej ect additional price increases and take the lead
in applying pressure for additional pipe lines. I know there is strong pressure from
environmental groups to oppose this, but new pipe lines and their construction do not have
to damage the environment in any long-term way; and political " savvy" and legislative
skill from committed leaders should be able to prevail on behalf of the people of Idaho
for lower energy costs - not higher. I would be willing to help and encourage my
neighbors to also help toward this end.

Comment description: All the utili tiy companies need to be reined in. They need some
compati tion. Rates are already too high. I f you don t think so try being a diaabled senior
on a fixed income. I had to borrow money this winter to pay my utili ties. I think any
shortages are manufactured and or the result of bad management, or could it be greed.

Comment description: just had a rate increase of 34% last year 2003, right before
winter, and now you want to increased it another 10%. Last year my family and I almost
free zed up to death because we couldn t keep up the house warm enough because we couldn
affort to pay gas anymore.
34 % was a lot! Our gas bill
comes to conserving energy,
but increasing our gas bill
was awful , and we are very, but very conservative, went it
and we know a lot about it. I am sure that there is other wayagaln.
