Phone company wins crucial ruling in Vermont case
Montpelier UPI The New England Telephone won what a Public Service Board member called the most crucial ruling in the case as the PSB accepted the company's filing on cost of service. The ruling follows a prior rejection of a rate increase after objections from public and welfare rights groups. Commissioner Burgess dissented calling the decision factually unsound and legally incorrect.
