New LED street lights fail in the rain

The City of San Antonio and CPS Energy spent more than $14 million of your money to replace street lights with 'energy saving' LED fixtures. Now we have uncovered that all 25,000 of the fixtures had to be sent back to the manufacturer.

LMFAO!!! that is not what i said. this is my comment: dear cps, ever heard of silicone caulking? guess not, too busy sleeping inside their work trucks(with dark tinted windows) or eating tacos. now where is there anything racist in this post? you say i said taco eater, nope sorry. i said the workers were eating tacos, what is racist about that? so because i said eating tacos you think i am being racist towards mexicans? wow you need to grow the f*ck up and by the way, mexicans arent a race, they are a nationality. typical lefty playing the race card

I found your 'taco eater" comment to be reprsentative of you racial bias. I too can drive all over town and see CPS workers sleeping and eating in their trucks as you described, but I don't generalize that they are of any specific race. I just see someone not doing their job. Your original comment had no reference to CPS rates , it was intended to make fun of "taco eaters". Have the cajones to admit your racial bias don't try to play it off.

aww somebodys undies are in a bunch, do i need to call the whaaambulance for you? are you a cps worker? you are awfully defensive about this newsstory. i can drive anywhere in town during the day and cps workers are either sleeping in the trucks, eating or sitting around. a one hour job takes two or three hours, no wonder our rates are so high

So you notice the guy taking a break from working before you noticed the other guy doing no work at all. Typical.

To hawwoodjablome, the taco eaters are outside the truck doing the work, the guy in the truck is probably eating bagels, talking to his blonde wife on the phone. You get what i mean?

CPS Energy Employees who have any concerns about this project have an internal way to express concerns anonymously to a third-party for review. Employees are not threatened for expressing differing opinions. The assessment of the streetlights evaluated their capabilities, performance and price. Based on the quality and performance of this product, which has been installed in cities worldwide, Toshiba has entered into an agreement to market the Greenstar lights -- which are made in San Antonio -- under the Toshiba brand.
