The Editor's Notepod, Tuesday-Monday, November 4-3, 2008

State: Election Day. It will be very interesting to see what the state/local voter turnout is, and how many of those newly registered voters, recruited for the genuine primary excitement, will find their way to the polls today, especially considering how pundits say Connecticut vote is a foregone conclusion.

Meriden: Humane Society may be bolstered by billboard. Good plan.

Wallingford: Connecticut Eastern Railroad Museum will accept the Yankee Silversmith’s car. That’s good news. If Wallingford itself cannot find the money or the place, better it goes to a good home than be taken to the kennel and put down.

Meriden: Council approves funding for a back-up vehicular approach to bins at transfer station. Good move! And the council also rejected a sale of its land near the airport in Wallingford.

Meriden: Rohde and the ceremonial role. I hope, for the city’s sake, that Mike will hew to the ceremonial line somewhat more closely. The job may be a bully pulpit, which is great, but that’s as far as it goes.
