The Editor's Notepod, Thurs., Dec. 18, 2008

Southington: the issue of nepotism in employment of relatives of Parks Dept. employees. Nothing particular against the people identified in the article, but it is kind of hard to believe that no one has raised the matter before as a potential problem. It’s really not rocket science. I would think that not hiring close relatives in municipal situations had been pretty standard for quite some time.

Meriden: Hanover Pond dredging. It’s a big job. If the muck can be made into an island and that would save a good deal of cash, it sounds like a plan — providing it doesn’t smell too bad. But any way you cut it, it’s an expensive job.

Meriden: Meanwhile, Silver Lake dredging seems to be moving forward and making good progress.

State: Democrats decide not to censure Joe Lieberman, but to send a letter expressing disappointment instead. I would imagine that unless he is completely self-deluded, his poll numbers are telling him something.
