The Editor's Notepod, Sat., Mar. 7, 2009

Southington: the rhetoric concerning the proposed group home is a little shrill, but, although the state can by statute decide where it wants to place a home regardless of zoning, it would be well-advised to do more advance work. on the other hand, the reason for the statutory authority is probably because of extreme NIMBY to begin with.

State: the legislature has to deal with the same sex marriage issue after the court decision last year. It is startling to me to think that anyone imagines that a marriage between two persons of the same sex will somehow invalidate, beleaguer, destroy, threaten or otherwise harm anyone else's opposite sex marriage.

Meriden: Code walks continue to be a good way of sharing information, attitudes and possible remedies among enforcement officers and elected officials.

Southington: Slider's Bar seems to have generated some parking issues in the neighborhood. Certainly no one wants to make issues, so some discussion and education are in order.
