Mikus questions validity of P U C order on rate rises
County prosecutor Mikus challenges the Public Utility Commission order granting rate increases to Elyria Telephone Co. saying the document lacked stated evaluation basis. Rural subscribers protest as first bills rise two to threefold with several residents reporting tripling or quadrupling charges. Mikus calls for written comments and notes a 30 day window from May 3 for user complaints, with the county and public utilities commission prepared to handle filings.
