In UK...
A council has created a £30,000 job for someone to make sure all the lights are switched off. Staffordshire County Council created the job after locals complained that lights and computers are left on all night reports The Sun. Bosses at the council have defended the post and says their power bill will rise by £1 million in three years and the job will be cost effective. Councillor Robert Simpson disagrees with the job he said: "It's common sense to just tell people to turn of the lights. This is a lot of taxpayers' money and the post needs to more than pay for itself to be considered a success."
