Needs More Manpower To Protect Consumer's Right
The North Carolina Utilities Commission, facing a rising case load, is severely handicapped by staff shortages. Commissioners and staff urge 1975 legislative increases, seeking five more lawyers and 10 to 20 more accountants to better examine rate requests and enforce fair prices for consumers. Regulatory salaries lag behind industry consultants, hindering recruitment and independent inquiry.
