Pa official calls fuel adjustment rule a rip-off
Pennsylvania Deputy Attorney General Albert D. Brandon testified at a Harrisburg hearing that the fuel cost adjustment on utility bills is a great rip-off that exploits consumers and boosts industry profits. He urged amendments to bar automatic increases without public hearings and faulted coal supply and secrecy in long term contracts, noting hardships from outages and high electric and gas bills.
