New Orleans has dramatically cut the time it takes to replace burned-out street lights -- but the mayor says it's still not good enough.
Mayor Helena Moreno says it used to take more than a year from the time a light was reported out to the time it was fixed.
"When we got into office, it took more than 450 days from the time you called 311 to get your light repaired," she said. "That was absolutely unacceptable."
Moreno says they have managed to cut that wait time more than 65 percent, down to 150 days -- but even that isn't good enough.
"Obviously that's unacceptable," said Moreno.
The mayor says going into next year, they want streetlights replaced within 30 days of being reported out.
