The Editor's Notepod, Thursday, November 6, 2008

Meriden: Fixing Baldwin Avenue. I know the place in question, and it does pose a hazard. But the city should stay away from maiming that spacious 1789 home’s front exposure. And, as someone says, smoothing out the elevations along that stretch would invite higher speeds.

Meriden: School system. I still fail to see how adding assistant principals will help anyone do anything. And they’re expensive. On the other hand, removing a “difficulty level” shouldn’t cost much, but looks to me equally nonsensical.

Wallingford: Schools and teachers reach a three-year contract. That’s a good thing, in general, compared to alternatives.
