Area: Peanut scare. 1) national jarred peanut butter is not affected by recall. Why doesn't this fact get repeated. 2). Many schools don't allow peanut butter anyway, so no big deal. But c.f., that story about the comparative test on peanut allergies between English kids kept away from pb and Israeli kids who have early exposure, with the early exposure kids having fewer peanut allergies.
Meriden: The full committee voted to approve the development plan for Cathole Mtn.They're all afraid of being thought anti-business. It's time to stop this process. That land needs to be preserved. Developers can go after the Hall Farm, if they must, or the brownfields projects downtown, but the city should not sell its soul or, more important, its major physical asset, for the sake of a few or even a lot of tax dollars in the bush.
Wallingford: the issue with financial management system lies in "lack of integrated modules." right. Accountants' talk? I hope someone asked what that meant.
Meriden: It is good to get all the social service agencies together so they each know what the others are doing and can do. Then again, why are there so many different agencies? Our system of categorical eligibility for benefits might be streamlined.
Cheshire: Contract for waste removal won't be waived. Given the particular history, I can see why members had some general concerns.

I agree that the city is selling its soul by further developing Cathole Mountain. What a shame we have so little vision amongst our city leaders. William Whyte once said it would take an act of imagination to preserve the state's trap-rock ridges. Meriden city planners lack that imagination and are posturing as pro-business. Preservation be damned...full speed ahead. How sad.
