Taxpayers ready suit against Ogden City officials over power rates
Ogden City taxpayers file a civil action against the mayor and city commissioners, Utah Power and Light, and others. They seek court orders to enjoin the franchise rates and termination of 50 year contracts, arguing rates are excessive and anticompetitive, claiming the city officials abused authority and violated state law. The suit targets rate setting for electric light, power and gas and asks the court to fix reasonable charges and void the franchises.
