Meriden/State: The notion of tax credits for corporations which offer scholarships to non-public schools has considerable interest. It raises red flags concerning the support for religious schools, and I don’t quite see how credits could be offered for, say, St. Stans. without offering them for Independent Day School. France, of course, pays for regular schools and religious schools completely via government dollars, but the church stays out of politics to a greater degree. Choice is also a good thing and all private schools are suffering.
Meriden: Ezzo building to come down. I spent a good many afternoons in there with the old duck pins, demonstrating my lack of bowling ability.
Southington: Town is calling in the state investigators. I think that’s the right choice. And how about suggesting that the chief of police report to the council and manager instead of to an independent board? A matter for the charter committee.
Meriden: High School plan. The notion of sending Platt kids to Maloney either before during or after one school is being redone sounds to me to be profligate of gasoline and good feeling.
Meriden: positive efforts and cooperation among the Council of Neighborhood Associations, the Police Department, the state (which has confirmed non-profit status for the CNA) and the City Council. It bodes well for the future.
Southington: I thought to have written the last comment on Solvents Recovery Systems when the settlement was announced, but the cumbersome nature of the process has now been compromised by the bankruptcy of a key player, namely the Tribune Co., owner of the Courant. Best laid plans don’t seem to do much better or worse than the sloppy old plans.
