Bell Must Wait For Decision On Rate Increase
The Kansas Corporation Commission hearing on Southwestern Bell’s request for a 14.78 million dollar annual rate rise has concluded but a decision may not come until early next year. Chairman Dale Saffels set Sept 11 for briefs, with rebuttals to follow, then 60 to 120 days to issue an order. The case centers on the allowed rate of return, with witnesses suggesting 8.0 to 8.23 percent versus Southwestern Bell’s 9.5 percent proposal.
