Take the following as truth: Just before the R97 case was filed, when many in the community were concerned about the size of the Service's request, I suggested that a case calling for rates to be phased--in over time might help avoid the rate shock that comes with large, double digit increases.
Then the following statement: "The size of the Service's request had no effect on the R97 case." is true, false, or inconclusive?
Answer: False
