Meriden: Well, the grand list may be pretty discouraging, but the budget management seems fairly good, though admittedly we reduced the size of the rainy day fund. Since this was used to pay down debt, it is probably a good thing. How big can the student activity fund be?
Southington: Charter Revision panel meeting with an agenda. They’ve got a lot of stuff to work through.
Wallingford: Congratulations to Choate student Rajogopalan who has come up with a cheaper way to make ethanol from vegetable biomass.
Wallingford/State: Mushinsky enters a bill to legalize medical marijuana. Good for her, and good for the long series of those who have made similar efforts. We need to get over the prohibitive/punishment approach to this stuff. Alas, until we end the “war on drugs,” we’ll see no end to the expensive and wasteful process.
Cheshire: Grand list increase due mainly to revaluation. Wonder if the balance between residential and commercial has changed?
Wallingford: Good for Bob Gross for spotting the discrepancies on CRRA’s website. So that situation has been remedied, presumably, through putting numbers from the correct source in the right place.
Southington/Cheshire: discussion stimulated by news of federal dollars for projects on the linear trail project. Seems to me that it’s a good thing to do. It would be nice for Cheshire to put together its northern extension as well, so they can join up. There are some snags locally and elsewhere, but there’s quite a good length of the conversion completed up in Avon and Simsbury.
