MUA Meeting Debates Utility Property Valuation in Baltimore

Joseph Alen urged original cost minus depreciation, while a governor’s study commission held a hearing on the plan. Oscar Berry urged caution, arguing the change could strip PSC judgment and possibly lower rates but reduce service quality.
