Lights Out To Save Money

Well, things have officially gotten so bad that the New Hampshire Department of Transportation is turning off the light at the end of the tunnel to save money. Actually it's not the light at the end of the tunnel, but at least half of the nearly 3,000 streetlights it operates on state highways.


Shutting off lights will save between $400,000 and $600,000 a year but some say the cost in accidents may not be worth it. The Concord Monitor has the story.
