The controversy over giving reduced rates (or a rate discount) to utility employees centers on whether it is legal and whether the associated costs are part of the utility's cost-of-service allowance. The lawfulness issue involves four major factors: rate discrimination, wage negotiations, managerial discretion, and resonableness of compensation. Three court decisions illustrate the complexity of rate analysis and a tendency to emphasize emotional factors of fairness. Maine's supreme judicial court decision emphasizing managerial discretion may add balance to future commission decisions. (DCK)
