Public Utilities Chief Warns of $78 Utility Bill Hike
Public Utilities Commissioner Leonard Ross warned that a phantom tax bill backed by the Ford Administration could lift the average California family’s utility bill by 78 dollars a year if Congress approves it. He said the plan may raise electric rates by 411 million dollars annually and would offer extra tax credits to utilities only if regulators withhold benefits from consumers and approve rate hikes. Ross questioned the need for a growth policy in electricity use amid dwindling energy supplies and urged power conservation.
