The Editor's Notepod, Wednesday, November 12, 2008

State: following trends, prices for gas are down well below what they were a year ago. Back on June 11, we reported average price at $4.35, with diesel over $5. Now gas is at $2.36, with diesel at $3.42. Neither the rise nor the decline makes much sense. And, regarding the drop in diesel, when will we see that reflected in food prices, the costs of which in some measure reflect trucking costs?

State: Bristol and New Britain papers in deep trouble. If they fold, both communities will lose something tangible and necessary to democracy. How come there aren’t any tycoons — heck even a small tycoon could probably afford one — handy to buy one and make something of it. It’s possible.

Wallingford: Lyman Hall Students put day off to good use, raking for seniors.

Wallingford: Charter revision. No change to the council, but they couldn’t finish discussing the veto issue and put it off till the next session.
