City Pays for Lights Without Knowing If Installed
Bridgeport officials learned at a board of apportionment hearing that the city may pay about $154,000 to United Mominating for street lighting without verifying installation or ongoing service. A city clerk was tasked to obtain payment details, and alderman Baker requested a formal written assurance on when lights were put into operation and if charges were valid.
