How much energy is consumed (at taxpayer expense) by all those “decorative” lights?

If I were the County Supervisor, I would be more concerned about the number of illegal aliens living in Anaheim and the rest of Orange County.

I saw it from Angels Stadium when I went to a game last summer. I couldn’t really decide what it was. It looks like it could be a sports or event arena. I did not see it lit up. That probably helps. After all, lights do wonders for Las Vegas, which looks not so great during the day.

The daytime picks are fine. They gotta work on the color of the lights so it looks better at night.
