Utilities Should Pay Back Windfalls to Ratepayers, Beatty Says
Kansas Corporation Commission member Marion Beatty told the Kansas Missouri Telephone Associations that any windfall from taxes by utilities should be offset by downward rate adjustments. He argued property taxes are used to set rates and windfalls should benefit ratepayers, not utilities. Beatty proposed replacing property taxes with a gross receipts tax to simplify filings and save money. He emphasized the goal of fair, nondiscriminatory rates and sustained utility service.
