See no basis for another rate hike

Puget Sound Energy has, with little fanfare and notification, requested another rate increase. Same thing as last year. The supply of natural gas is abundant and therefore cheaper. Cascade Natural Gas lowered their rates the last time PSE raised theirs.

If PSE’s rate hike is approved, I think that the members of the Utilities and Transportation Commission should be investigated as to their connection with PSE. Also, did you know that PSE is a foreign-owned company? Wonder where their profits are destined?
