Utility seeks hike in energy
PLEASA,NTVILLE
Atlantic Electric has submitted
a request to. trie New
Jersey Board of Regulatory
Commissioners (BRC) to
increase its levelized energy
clause (LEC) rates.
If approved, annual LEC
revenues would increase by
$14.2 million, which
equates to a 1.7 percent
increase ^n the company's
total annual revenue.
If Atlantic Electric's
request is approved by the
BRC, residential customers
paying non time-of-use
rates could see a 1.2 to 1.8
percent increase in their
monthly bill.
Grand prize winner
The exact amount of
change depends upon the
amount of electricity consumed.
For example, residential
customers who use
500 kilowatthours a month
could expect t° see an
increase in their monthly
bills of 88 cents: . •
The company requests
that the proposed rate
increase be made effective
no later than June 1.

Tax simplification
day puts focus on
IRS complexity
Someone once said that
death and taxes are inevitable.
But compared to taxes,
death is a breeze. And'
when certified public
accountants make a fuss
about taxes,, you know
something's wrong.
Each year, millions of
New Jersey taxpayers and
thousands of CPAs face the
burden of filing taxes and
keeping up-to-date with
changes in the tax laws.
In the last. 12 years, nine
major tax bills were passed,
causing more than half, of
all taxpayers to require professional
assistance in preparing
their returns.
In an effort to ease the
problem of unnecessarily
complex tax laws, the
13,000-member New Jersey
Society of Certified Public
Accountants is declaring
