Westar seeks 20 million in tree trim amid rate hike push

Westar seeks 177 million rate increase with 130 million granted in 2009, plus pass-throughs for transmission, environment, and pension losses. The current request includes 20 million for tree trimming to reduce outages and 37 million for the pension fund, with the debate over long term savings versus upfront costs.
