Ohio House Proposes Link Between Service Improvements and Rate Increases
Representative William Saxbe proposes legislation to allow the Ohio Public Utilities Commission to predicate telephone rate hikes on service improvements. He cites the Elyria case where the Ohio Supreme Court ruled such a link cannot be based on service orders. Governor Lausche backs changing the rate formula as Ohio now lags behind other states. The bill targets independent telephone companies rather than utilities generally.
