Elevator in the Hinds County Courthouse. Hope no one breaks any of these light bulbs:

Hey, wait a minute! Don't you know that is what the supervisors mean by "transparency of government". Where you been man?
Wow. What a safety hazard!
two points: those elevators date to the mid 1930s and are just as they were when installed, lights and all.
they hardly are ever in service which makes two circuit courtrooms, two county court courtrooms, and Justice Court inaccessible for folks in wheel chairs and others that can't climb stairways.
Those are not the same kind of bulbs as those of 1930. Those bulbs offer a potential chemical health hazard if broken.
I'm sorry, but obviously missing something here. What makes a light bulb in an elevator any more dangerous than a light bulb in an office, hallway, or bathroom?
And as to 3:55's comment, I've ridden the elevators in the HCC many, many times. In fact, have never attempted to use elevator and found it to be out of service. Guess I was just lucky; never had anyone try to bust out the bulbs while I was riding up and down either.
Those bulbs were installed as part of Tate's new transparent budget that can't be found online.
Did that come out of the money that the judge (forgot his name) and Phil Fisher were fighting about ? Just wondering...
At 8:32, those look to be the new fluorescent bulbs. Mercury in those. They need special attention if broken or to be disposed of properly. Progress!
Abolish the EPA and it won't matter if a CFL breaks.
Three of them need to be removed. Every little bit of savings helps. Only one bulb needed in an elevator or closet sized room.

Probably should keep two. If that last lonely bulb goes out while in use there will be more screaming in that elevator than a Texas chainsaw murder movie.
I'm sorry, I'm late to this commentary, but just how many county workers did it take to install those light bulbs?
