Clark County Is Not Broke- Financially, That Is

As I was driving down Cabana Dr. by Desert Inn, I came across a traffic jam about 1/3 mile long. Strange, I thought, as this is a lightly traveled road. (DI and Cabana are on the east side of the Valley, about 1 mile east of Nellis). The first time I went through, and it took about 10 minutes to go through the intersection. I saw some construction workers, but couldn't tell what they were doing. Th next time I went down Cabana, the traffic jam was about 1/2 mile and it took almost 15 minutes to get through. I figured out that they were putting up new traffic lights. Traffic lights? Why.?
The job was being done a private company but there was a Clark County employee out there supervising.
Then it occurred to me. This is how some government employees justify their job. They find a situation where there is no problem and then their solution is to make the problem worse.
This is at the third intersection that I am aware of where they put up traffic lights where they were not needed. They put one on Owens & Walnut and Pecos & Harris. At both intersections, it has made the problem worse. First, it is tougher to cross the road on the smaller street because you have to wait for a light. Instead of crossing immediately or at the worst, wait about 30 seconds, now you have to wait 2 or 3 minutes to cross because of the red light. Further, they did not time the lights, so the traffic is screwed up on the busy streets.
The morons in the traffic division cannot even time the traffic lights in the valley. They should concentrate on the basics, not create more problems. And to spend about $100,000 to put up traffic lights when they are not needed also shows me there is a lack of over site by the Clark County Commissioners.
No, Clark County is not broke financially if they can afford things like traffic lights when they are needed. They are broke when it comes to over site, however.
