The Editor's Notepod, Mon., Mar. 9, 2009

Meriden: Okay, unions. Kendzior has made his choices, most of which are fairly irritating, but it’s probably what he needs to do to bring the budget down. Are you folks going to go through the bumping business, and push the people at the bottom of the list into the street, or are you going to start discussing a 10 percent cut in pay for everyone? The balls in that court. I doubt that higher taxes will fly.

Area: debt collection. Seems there’s a fine art in seeking cash from the heirs of the recently deceased. Nice touch, playing upon a person’s brand loyalty, which we all know is so carefully returned.

Southington:
“Blizzard Blast” at Camp Sloper for Scouts didn’t exactly involve much snow, but no doubt was fun anyway.

It's not very fair, nor realistic to ask city workers for a 10% pay cut. Union's go by seniority. People know that when they accept a union job.
When the Record Journal recently laid off staff did anyone of you take a 10% pay cut to save those jobs?
