>PSE&G : The old street light scam is back in the news once again
the fly wonders if the Village is still paying the same rate to PSEG even though some 250 plus street lights have been out or missing the better part of this decade..
Seems the old street light scam is back in the news once again . Several years ago a Village resident and engineer noticed the case of the disappearing street lights and reported it to the Village council . The resident met with disdain and was written off by the powers that be . Since that time sources at the County Seat have confirmed this is a county wide problem.
Inside sources tell the fly the the Village is charged by PSEG for a certain number of street lights , yet often when a light goes dark its is never replaced or in some cases when a utility pole is removed or replaced the light is not put back on the pole .
The Mayor has noticed the Village is still paying the bill for these lights regardless and the fly is “sure” that PSEG is making every effort to adjust the Villages electric rate for the missing lights , hummmm I wonder….
