Hundreds of Southern California natural gas customers who are fed up with exorbitant prices this year expressed outrage at public meetings in recent weeks asking the state not to approve another rate increase.
About 452 people commented during the meetings and more than 500 submitted written comments about Southern California Gas (SoCalGas) Co.’s request to add about another 13 percent to bills next year, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) estimates.
