So far so good, but because there isn't money in the general fund for the refunds, the refund notice included news of a temporary rate increase for SPU customers equal to 10.2 percent (about $59--that extra $14 may be going to cover the $4.2 million in court fees the suit racked up). Only in Seattle can news that we’ve all been bilked for cash be accompanied by news that the bilk goes on.
