1. CAVENDISH RELATED NEWS
GMP Customers to Pay Storm Damage Surcharge: Just ten days ago Green Mountain Power said it would
not be raising electric rates for the next two years.
But now the utility has
informed customers it will be adding a storm surcharge of $1.53 to bills
beginning next month. The company says it needs the extra money to offset the
cost of four major storms in 2013. The good news is there are other costs that
fluctuate, so for the first quarter of next year GMP bills will have a power
supply adjustment credit that will pretty much offset the storm surcharge. WCAX
VT Minimum Wage to Increase 13 cents on January 1: The state’s minimum wage increases to $8.73 per hour
starting Jan.1. The minimum wage for workers who are tipped will increase by 6
cents to $4.23 an hour. The national minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. WPTZ
