Area: legislators and bills. It's probably worth mentioning that the number of bills introduced by individual legislators is not really much of a measure of how a legislator performs.
Meriden: Teen programs completely threatened by elimination of what is actually a very small amount of cash. This may be a demonstration of the multiplier effect of government money -- or not, depending on ideology, But loss of funds will end these programs or seriously imperil function.
State: Legislators getting together on compromises on FOI posting rules for public websites. I find it hard to believe that even the smallest town in this state cannot find someone, and someone at a low cost, to set up and manage a half-0way decent website which merely posts meetings and minutes in a timely manner.
Meriden: Sports programs to go in the upcoming year. Is the issue of wage freeze or something similar not even to be mentioned in Meriden? Just cut away at the 20 percent of the budget which is not personnel?
Wallingford: Story about library usage increasing, as it usually does, during tough times by folks looking for jobs. Yet the library is always the easiest place to reduce hours and trim staff, since there's no public safety involved!
