Meriden: Magnet school discussion – demagnetization. It seems to me that any thought of getting the state to “forgive” $8.745 million if the city takes over operations, given the state’s full-participation in the original construction and in the extra construction costs, in the current economy is a pipe dream. Don’t waste time thinking about it. Much more to the point would be working with other magnet communities in a) attracting students from the non-urban communities and b) changing/repairing the disparity of state reimbursement. It makes no sense to penalize Meriden or Hamden because parents want their own kids want to attend and parents of kids from Berlin or New Haven or wherever -- don’t.
Wallingford: Hearing scheduled for those condo owners who object to the restrictions – rightly or wrongly – on what they can add to their units outdoors.
State: How is cutting the subsidy the state has paid to small towns for resident troopers going to save anyone any money? The towns will have to pay the salaries and supporting costs just the same. Whether it’s local or state taxes it’s all public support. This is nonsense – as well as nickel-dime behavior.
Cheshire: Congratulations to Suzie Jing of Cheshire High for her award in the Conn. Art Education Association’s annual competition. So many of us forget so often that it is art’s purpose to make us think as well as to entertain or beautify.
Southington: Twichell House, Plantsville, which has become a “painted lady” in its 21st century incarnation, and a landmark.
Meriden: good luck to the latest entrepreneurs at the quondam Town and Country Market on Hall Avenue. It’s tough to take on the super stores, especially in tough times, but the right person may be able to carve out a niche.
