Stage Set for New Chapter in Phone Rate Fight
Federal court opens in Peoria as Indiana Bell seeks to block Indiana from pursuing its own rate review. Judge George T. Page will hear ancillary and injunctive issues tied to the Measured Service decree and state challenges to the court’s authority. The case names Attorney General Leah Governor Branch and five Public Service Commission members as defendants, with the company represented by Biller, Dailey & Thompson and Ryan C. Dailey. The proceeding will consider requests to strike portions of the final decree and limit the state’s actions on Indianapolis Measured Service.
