Not happy with PUD wage increases

To The Eagle:

January 2018, Western Wahkiakum County received a 34 percent, per month, increase in the electric base rate. The West End also is charged $56.23 before the water tap is turned on. If Wahkiakum County does not have the population to keep the base water and electric rates at a rational, family wage level; it certainly does not have the population to pay the exorbitant salaries; retroactive mind you, the PUD commissioners have authorized for their staff.
