Kansas KCC Staff seeks changes in Bell rate case
Kansas Corporation Commission staff seeks to modify a 213.7 million rate increase proposed by Southwestern Bell Telephone. They request inclusion of AT&T due to divestiture, appointment of a special examiner to compel testimony, and treating the proposal as interim with potential refunds. The staff also calls for reducing 6.5 million as an affiliate projection not directly tied to customer costs.
