Rate hike hearing targets directory charges in North Carolina
In Raleigh the Utilities Commission opened a hearing on Southern Bell’s proposed 32 percent rate rise. CWA spokesman M Wayne Gray opposed a 20 cent directory assistance charge after three free calls monthly, arguing it would price the service and threaten jobs. He cited job losses in Georgia and South Carolina as examples and questioned exemption mechanics for the illiterate and handicapped. The higher rates would raise yearly bills by about 6.24 million, with homeowners facing a 32 percent base increase and installation costs jumping from 15 to 46.50. Interim increases had already taken effect May 17 and July 1, pending final commission action.
