        Not just the courts, to do basically anything that has a cost they can continuously brush off as unnecess.

        The neighborhood around a local middle school had been asking for a crossing light in front of the school because it’s on a busy 4 lane arterial road. Kept getting pushed off by government officials that it wasn’t necessary. Crossing guards were enough. Which is fine, during the school day, but the school facilities like the various sports courts and fields are open for public use outside school hours.

        Took a 14 year old student being killed walking to school by a speeding vehicle on the way to school early before the crossing guards were there.
