Meriden: Chief Cossette asks for expansion of Police Service Technician system. That’s a request we can back. It seems pretty cheap, too, and if it can help train and retrain officers, it’s a good idea.
Cheshire: Ethics Board. Don’t need one? Baloney. It’s a flat-out good idea to have an outside person look at the facts of an allegation and make a public ruling on the potential for conflict. No way that’s going to happen when the whole thing is handled by office memos or conference.
Southington: The idea of a 10 percent cut in state support for public schools, as mentioned here in a Southington context, isn’t acceptable. The technique is simply cutting the cost sharing grants — which isn’t enough to begin with. Stop fixing roads, if need be. Don’t fix the airport. Don’t hire anyone new at the MVD. But this is a foolish area to make across the board cuts. If taxes are necessary to support the program, taxes it must be.
