Description

Last July a brand new set of 30 large LED flood lights was installed to light the Wilbur Cross tennis courts at night. According to my own research these new lights must have cost somewhere between $10,000 and $20,000 and they were funded with taxpayers' money!

However, these lights have NEVER been switched on! I made it a habit to ride past the Wilbur Cross in the evening to check whether they were on and they were never switched on. In the late summer and fall of 2015 I therefore repeatedly inquired with Wilbur Cross High School and with the Department of Education, but I was just stone-walled. Nobody returned my calls and messages and when I managed to get somebody on the line, the person said they didn't know anything about these lights.

Needless to say, it would be fantastic if there was a way to turn on these lights in the evening and to allow tennis players to play during the summer.
