The Editor's Notepod, Sat., Dec.27, 2008

Wallingford: Charter Amendment considers the clerk’s position becoming appointed by the mayor. Brodinsky is showing openness in suggesting it be a mayoral appointment. Part of the process, though, may be a decision on the part of both parties not to make it a contested issue. Meriden elects a clerk every four years and has elected the same person several times, partly due to cross endorsements.

Cheshire, Meriden, etc.: Security at local stores is up, reflecting increase in shoplifting, which probably reflects the sagging economy. At least such an explanation is suggested.

Area: All four Ys report difficulties with compliance with a pool pump cover requirement because the law was poorly drawn. Nothing like the old “one size fits all” legislative mandate!
