2. Arizona regulators weighing electric utility's request for a 14% increase (redrocknews.com) — Sedona residents could see their APS electric bills rise by at least $20 a month if regulators approve a proposed 14% rate hike now under review.

Local seniors and fixed-income residents, including a Sedona commenter, are urging regulators to reject or reduce the increase.
