The last week or so sure has been dreary and rainy. The sun has not parted the cloudy sky for days. Oh, my, guess what happened last night? A number of Pride in Paxton's solar powered street lights failed to light! Surprise!! These solar powered lights were manufactured by SEPCO of Stuart, FL. We're sure solar powered lights work wonders in Florida the "Sunshine State," however, we are in Illinois, land of many dreary days.
In these hard economic times, wouldn't Pride better serve the community by directing their efforts towards economic growth in the downtown? Our beautified downtown is populated by far too many vacant buildings. Beautification is frivolous when the state and local economies are so distressed. Save beautification for times of bounty.
The State of Illinois has unpaid bills piling up. It can't afford to be paying out frivolous grants.
