What corporation says - hey we donate some money to good causes, you should overlook the fact that you paid us due to our overcharging you for street lights. <br /> This practice has sucked in a lot of cities. Will be good to put Goliath back in his place on this one. <br /><br />It’s not like Entergy can lose money. If Clinton wins, All this does is cut out overpaying for lighting by city/county government. <br />The setup of this monopoly doesn’t allow them to lose money.

They don't provide services for giggles and grins. And if you were a stockholder in Entergy and you say you would vote against charging what the PSC would allow, well, you're either a liar or just plain stupid. And what difference does it make how old something is if it continues to provide the intended service? The poles and lights are not on a lease/purchase plan. Fisher is way off base on this one.
