Wallingford: Board of Ed has hired a consultant to help replace Dale Wilson as superintendent. Given the history of the 2005 ouster of Ken Henrici and the flurry over David Erwin in 2006, this would seem to be a more than necessary step.
State: DEP is going to study the toxicity (or lack thereof) of artificial turf. Well, I hope it doesn’t take as long for the DEP to do the study as it did to decide to conduct one. But looking back, I kind of thought the DEP had de-cided last August to do this study.
Cheshire: Glad to learn that pet care centers can defy the economic odds. A lot of cats and dogs do wind up being dumped at the shelter or worse . . .
State: There’s a story of the lottery! Man’s last purchase brings his widow $6 million. Good for her, consulting with attorney and accountant before deciding how she wants her winnings. Good for the lottery business. But it’s bad for the state and the reliance on such a business for revenues. Any sane person knows that the chance of winning something like this is almost vanishingly small. Yet we and other papers regularly publish accounts of the winners. Doesn’t this grossly distort the probably outcome of buying tickets and keep the whole thing going?
