I've converted wholly over to LED\CFL for all my lighting needs. CFL doesn't work too well outside for a light that's on a motion sensor, as they have to "warm up" in the winter time and don't provide full brightness for sometimes 5-10 minutes depending on the temperature outside.

But I hear what you're saying, you probably pay more in taxes than what I do, but receive less services, and that sucks. The decision to cut alley lighting was a pretty hard-hitting one, especially when they're going in and ripping out functioning lights.
