The Editor's Notepod, Tues., Jan 20, 2009

Meriden/State: The investigation into Senator Gaffey should be pushed ahead so the chips may fall where they may, as he says. And for goodness sake, the Democrats and Republicans ought to get together and set up an ethics body so that they stop using infractions to beat each other over the head.

Meriden: We need to have a good deal more discussion of the plan for the un-damaged portion of Cathole Mountain before that plan of development is enacted.

Meriden: the Housing Authority has decided on an outside committee to help find a new executive director. That seems like a good idea, especially with the help of a screening firm. This is a hard job these days, since pub-lic housing has such a low priority nationally.

Southington: the surveillance camera at Crescent Lake proves its mettle by catching a truck plowing its way through the gate after being caught inside after lock-up.

Wallingford: with all these restaurants and other businesses indicating that they need parking (which is good to need, in this economy particularly) why not use the Wooding Caplan property, or some of it, to extend park-ing?

The Meriden Planning Commission makes me sick when it comes to their Plan of Conservation and Development segment on Cathole Mountain. How foolish to develop this city-owned land beyond the power plant footprint. No vision. No guts to preserve this land. Developer-bias?
