Piedmont Gas Rates Case In Supreme Court
The North Carolina Supreme Court heard arguments on Piedmont Natural Gas Co. appeal after the Utilities Commission's denial of a rate increase was overturned by Superior Court Judge Hugh Campbell. Assistant Attorney General Kent Burns urged reversal, saying the judge substituted his judgment for the commission and that law requires substantial evidence to overturn a ruling. Piedmont advocate Hubert Humphrey argued the request sought to recoup higher gas costs, not boost earnings, noting the commission prevented recoupment of increased gas costs.
