SALT LAKE CITY -- Homeowners may soon have to pay to keep their street lights burning.
In the summer of 2010, Salt Lake leaders decided to let some street lights burn out. If they stopped shining for any reason the city would not put them back on in order to save money in the city budget. That decision saved nearly half a million dollars.
"A couple of years ago when our general fund was tight," said City Council member Soren Simonsen, "we ended up having to forgo replacing some lights that were burned out or that were damaged or otherwise not functioning. And that's created a lot of concern."
