Subject: Hydro Increases



As a property owner in Ear Falls, Ontario I'm shocked at the proposed increase by Hydro One. Are you not aware a recession is going on? Businesses are closing and people are struggling now to make end meet? What about all the older people on fixed incomes? Where are they suppose to come up with extra money? How do you think they will be able to pay such a huge increase? Your customers are tightening their belts and cutting back so how about Hydro One looking at ways to reduce your overhead? We can all make it through this recession if we work together, be creative and everyone take a few cuts. It just takes a jopint effort.

Please reconsider before hitting people with an increase that will crate more hardship.

I appreciate your time and consideration on this matter.

Sincerely,

Peter J. Venturi
