A former Mt. Lebanon resident sent me this link from the Chartiers Valley Patch.

Thought it was interesting that a 12 year old has a plan and proposal to have lights installed on a local field with no cost to taxpayers, while the Lebo YSA, full of adults, can't get a plan together, and expects taxpayers to pay for everything.
I attended the meeting, she will apply for a grant through Duquesne Light.
You should see the field she wants to light. In the last 3 years the STAA (Scott Township AA) has taken it from a beat up field with only wooden benches and totally transformed it.
Dugouts, scoreboard, regraded it, bathrooms, etc. All at very little cost, if any to the taxpayers. Lots of fundraisers, donations and blood, sweat and tears. A group of dads worked 10-12 hours a week for a year to complete it.
The Patch article includes pictures of the field. There is resistance from local residents over the lighting.
