It says Avista is going back to court to ask for a reduction on the credit it was ordered to pay us back. Did anyone read the notice that came with your utility bill last month?

Does anyone out there realize that this economy hurts ONLY poor. Retired or not. I'm retired and my FIXED income is $594.00 a month!. Yeah let me see you big shot corporates try and live on that. I've worked in this country since I was 12, yeah born and raised here but now I'm a minority and my s.s. went to the "other" people. Avista wants more money? Aw too bad they cant get by on 72% profit. Neither can the "C.E.O's" get on on eight or ten million dollars. Ha. When this is all over, can they stand up in front of their Maker and answer "How did you love"?.. Yeah it’s the same old B.S. the rich get richer and the poor go hungry.

I'm sure that all of us retired folks would like more money, too. Oh yes, we get COLA once a year and that raise and then some goes to pay Medicare raises. When will it stop? I know there are elderly people that sit in cold houses because they cannot afford to heat them. And they probably sit in the dark, too. ENOUGH ALREADY!!!

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac get bailed out, but Fannie Mae's chief executive and president, Daniel Mudd, received compensation last year valued at $12.2 million, including a $2.2 million bonus. Freddie Mac CEO Richard Syron received $10.5 million last year in salary, stock, options and bonuses. Bonuses for what?! Unprecedented incompetence and negligence? It's SOP in the corporate world. Since when do profits become an advantage for consumers, as with Avista? Since when are CEOs held accountable for bad business results? Rarely. And we average citizens are the ones who end up paying the price and penalty. Why should they be any different? Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac get bailed out, but

They are as big as crooks as the government, and the oil companies. We need a good old Boston Tea Party before we are all freezing to death and going hungry!!!!!
