Vermont rate hike advances amid public review
Green Mountain Power Corp of Burlington has imposed an 18 percent across the board rate increase while the Vermont Public Service Board has yet to rule. The utility posted a bond to cover revenues if the board rejects the hike, citing rising operating costs as the reason for the 17.8 percent charge. The board finished hearings and was expected to issue a decision later this year. A separate item notes Grant Corwin urging Vermonters to write him in as a protest Republican candidate in a Friday special election.
