CITY and COUNTY OFFICIALS in IOWA: Are you concerned about the historic rate increases proposed by Alliant Energy, slated to take effect later this year? Contact Howard County Energy District president emeritus Amy Bouska?(563-547-3484) for an IN-DEPTH CALCULATION OF YOUR COMMUNITY’S LIKELY RATE INCREASE if approved by the Iowa Utilities Board. Ms. Bouska, a trust manager and business analyst, has been working with the CEDI Coalition to develop calculators for the variables in each rate class to give communities an accurate estimate of their energy burden if Alliant’s historically high rates and changes to rate-making procedures are approved. The CEDI Coalition is an OFFICIAL INTERVENOR on behalf of its member communities and all ratepayers in this rate case.
