The Editor's Notebod, Tuesday, December 9, 2008

Wallingford: The charter panel votes, along party lines, votes to change the veto power. If this is not a politically motivated change, then what is it? And if it is, why not say so, make it an upfront part of the program, and place it in a separate position on the referendum, when that happens.

Southington: a 4-4 vote on the motion to transfer cash for the promotion of the captain means it falls. Ergo, the plan is dead. Without chance of revival?

Meriden: Trashing the shrine on Coe Ave. is pretty nasty.

Meriden: evidently, the presence of city non-profits in the Park selling cookies and cocoa seems to have worked out pretty well for participants. That’s a good thing.

State: Rell will be speaking with state employee unions. This is a situation where tact and finesse is everything. Otherwise, all that happens is pushing and shoving.

Meriden: Contract for Phase II of the linear trail design. I am delighted to see this project moving forward. The first part, through the gorge, has been a fine success.
