John Findling 511 Emery Road Louisville, KY 40206 Phone:502-895-1973 E-Mail:jfindlin@ius.edu Please reconsider your recommendation to raise revenue by increasing the monthly service charge rather then the kph rate. A large increase in the service charge weighs most heavily on those least able to pay and therefore is a regressive tax increase, while an increase in kwh rates affects thosae who use more power ()by living in a larger home, for example) and has the added benefit of encouraging conservation. Thank you.
