Public commenters tell PUC of a Southwest Gas billing dispute and plan to send a shareholder letter to the SEC
Summary
Two members of the public used closing comments at the March 25, 2025 Public Utilities Commission meeting to raise a Southwest Gas billing dispute and to announce intent to submit a shareholder letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
During closing public comment at the March 25, 2025 meeting of the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada, two members of the public addressed the commission about separate concerns.
Anna Dictakis told the commission she has an unresolved billing dispute with Southwest Gas and asked for records to support the company’s claims. "I've had a hundred and $67 bill, and yet they're saying that I had a $22,000 return payment," Dictakis said. She told commissioners that Southwest Gas has sent screenshots and spreadsheets but not the specific documents she needs to resolve what she described as an outstanding $8,800 bill.
Tony Simmons said he planned to submit a draft letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission this week urging the SEC to advise shareholders to intervene in regulatory proceedings when necessary to protect investor interests. "We've asked them to to issue a risk alert to all boards of directors, to everybody that has a fiduciary responsibility to a shareholder needs to be advised that shareholders have to be here to protect their interests," Simmons said. He also said he recently became a Berkshire Hathaway shareholder and that he will attend future meetings to question utility employees about fiduciary duty.
Public comment periods at the meeting were conducted pursuant to the Nevada Revised Statutes and limited to three minutes per speaker, according to the chair.
