Mountain Bell rate hearing opens before Arizona commission
The State Corporation Commission began a hearing on Mountain Bell's request for rate increases averaging about 19 percent. APS seeks an immediate interim 18 percent rise after Moody’s downgraded its commercial rating. Residential Phoenix bills could rise to 10.20, Tucson to 9.45, and smaller towns to 6.45. The plan adds 20 cent payphone charges and directory assistance fees with exemptions for the blind and disabled. About 17 intervenors protest the higher rates, while Mountain Bell cites rising operating costs to justify the increases.
