re: Why are there so many inoperable street lights along Louisiana's highways?

There is a street light on my road that is the old type with the open dome. It flickered and tried to light at sundown but would eventually just fade to darkness.

I read this post and located the place on Entergy's website to report that it is out. I figured I would track how long it would take for them to do something, if anything at all.

Lo and behold, less than twenty four hours later, while I was sipping my morning coffee an Entergy truck pulled up and an employee got out and changed the bulb. It works again and the extra light and security is nice.

It wasn't what I expected, but I will have to give credit where credit is due, they were actually on top of that one.
