    The proposed rate's absolute increase of $0.54 from $3.42 to $3.96, represents a 15.8% relative increase, almost twice the 8.64% CPI increase from March 2022 to March 2024. That is definitely an excessive rate increase. I see no justification for increases exceeding inflation by such large amount.
