A waste of taxpayers’ money – lights in Fountain Park.

As a daily user of Fountain Park, I haven’t talked to anyone asking for or demanding lights in the park. I haven’t seen anyone carrying petitions or wearing sandwich board signs demanding lights.

Mr. Hughes, town recreation supervisor, said in the Nov. 13 edition of The Times, “We see a number of people wearing headlamps or carrying flashlights now. Two questions for Mr. Hughes – who does “we” refer to? And, how many people are a number of people?

I live across from the park and rarely see anyone in it at night when I walk to Fountainside Plaza.

Let me illustrate the absurd by being absurd. When I see people walking to restaurants at night, possibly the town should provide trolley service at taxpayers’ expense for these walkers. When I see two people walking on the Lake Overlook Trail at night, then we should put lights on the trail.

Where does all the wasteful spending stop?
