Southington: nitrogen credits now very expensive. Town considered that state policy was unsettled and postponed. Well, someone will always be on that side of the equation.
Meriden: Suggestion from Walter Hylwa to move the Goffe House and the Andrews Homestead downtown somewhere. Assuming that issues about historic registers and so on could be cleared away or resolved, it isn’t such a bad idea. West Main doesn’t look resemble the streetscape of 1760 at all, and North Colony has changed almost as much. Both locations, while tenable, are far from ideal. Middletown successfully brought several old homes to its southern end where they make a pretty classy display. Downtown is now getting to the point where there is a good deal of open space.
Southington: false allegations against cops are clearly hurtful and damaging to the department and the individual. But this is true against other professionals and businesses – and many crimes. While an arrest or initial charge generally gets large play, it is the nature of things that subsequent stories clearing up the facts, for good or ill, get less attention – even if similarly placed. It’s a real problem, possibly unsolvable.
Meriden: Good for the city for adjusting the golf rates. That should make sense.
Meriden/Wallingford: folks preparing for the literacy Scrabble contest.
Wallingford: it’s appropriate that injustices (I think that puts it mildly) Baha’is are getting some attention. It is certainly not new.
