The Editor's Notepod, Tuesday, November 18, 2008

Wallingford: I think those paras have a good case. Medical insurance is undoubtedly expensive. It's hard to see how there's much bargaining room for them to give something away, given the fairly small amount they are paid. I see no reason why this is not a reasonable request. The town is not in business to make life tough for its employees. The question is for the town to find a way to make these benefits available.

Meriden: The drainage easement. Someone, I would say, might have explained things a little better, and not sent along a ridiculous seeming form which appears to give away all rights. I'm sure that's routine, but if people don't understand it they'll legitimately object.

Cheshire: Postal routes changing. And we have to hear it from a spokesperson for New York and Connecticut. That's the main problem with the postal service. It is no longer a local business.

State: Plans to spend more of the tobacco money in CT on, guess what? Anti-smoking. Good idea. And rather novel at that.
