The Citizens Utility Ratepayers Board, a consumer advocacy agency for utility customers, says the agreement recently reached on a Kansas Gas Service rate hike was a fair one. David Springee, an attorney with CURB, says it's actually a significantly lower increase than the utility had requested.
KGS had also initially requested a revenue guarantee - to ensure a certain amount of profit. Springee says no utility has ever been granted a revenue guarantee in the entire 110 year history of the Kansas Corporation Commission.
