As a result of outrage over the revelation that streetlight funds were being diverted into general revenue, Cobb Commissioners created streetlight districts and are seeking to increase the rates per streetlight.

In Andy Padgett's district, this amounted to 90 people paying $3.50 per month for 19 streetlights.

When he learned that the County was only paying $8.00 per month for each of the 19 streetlights (including maintenance), Padgett had this to say.
