CAPU says it has hundreds of signatures of consumers complaining about the new B.T.L. rates. They want a public hearing at the Civic Centre in Belize City to be held so customers can voice their concerns. Viewers can recall that the Public Utilities Commission has been unable to proceed with its planned public hearing until a judicial review by the Supreme Court is completed on January third.
