Merchant Urges Southern Bell to Cut Costs Not Raise Rates
John Wrisley a Columbia audio visual firm operator urged the South Carolina Public Service Commission to delay a 17 percent rate hike for Southern Bell and instead cut costs. He noted the increase would add about 34 million dollars in annual revenue and raise his own bill about 72 dollars a year. University of South Carolina students and Centrex users voiced concerns that rents and fees could rise with higher rates. Ken Edwards of Sonitrol Security testified against the increase, saying his firm relies on the lines for burglary alarms.
