Hill to oppose Southwestern Bell rate hike request
Austin attorney general John L. Hill moves to intervene in Southwestern Bell’s request for a 214.3 million rate increase. PUC set March 27 as first prehearing date. Bell seeks April 14 effective date while Hill weighs suspending rates for 120 days. If allowed, Hill can cross examine Bell witnesses and argue before the PUC. He calls the request substantially out of line, though may support some relief.
