The Editor's Notepod, Tues., Feb. 10, 2009

Southington: Sewer increases. The original plan seems to have taken councilors somewhat by surprise, at 35% + 25% + 15%. That’s 75% over 3 years, and would have had people in the aisles yelling. Why was this an apparent surprise? Another matter for the Charter Commission?

State: Judicial Review Council disciplines a judge for drunk driving and abusiveness to police after an arrest. It’s interesting that the council has indeed acted.

Cheshire: Rep. Esty’s bill to collect unused prescription drugs rather than flushing them sounds sensible. In the case of most prescriptions, though, don’t doctors instruct patients to finish the prescription?

State: Here’s something which sounds pretty unnecessary to me: That raw milk proposal. The number of people who drink raw milk has to be vanishingly small, but certainly includes those with the money and inclination to want to do so. They assume the risk, surely. No way the stuff can wind up on regular grocery shelves, is there? Why do this?

Southington:
new program to help kids deal with serious illness of a parent seems to make sense.
