State: That exchange between Calhoun and the reporter apparently didn’t do the reporter any favors, and I suspect that the tone probably had something to do with public reaction. I would think that non-fans, much though they might appreciate the principle of supporting UConn through income from the athletic program (and using that as a justification for substantial salaries), would object to $1.5 million salaries for coaches. Is that really what is required to have a “good” program?
Meriden: City Planning Commission formally approves the Plan of Conservation and Development. This is the other shoe dropping and no more than expected. I still object to development on Cathole Mtn.
Meriden: I’d really like to hear a fuller discussion about this class level discussion in the school system. I can’t really think that how the kids are categorized can make much difference to their performance or to the scores on the SATs, since it wouldn’t really change the teaching would it? Any comments on these categories?
Meriden: Councilors told by board of ethics to abstain in votes which affect organizations with which they have connections. This is why we have a board of ethics.
Southington: the West Street School will soon become the responsibility of the Historical Society, joining the South End School. It’s a very old structure, of course, but the years have rolled by and the Alumni association which ran it has dwindled inevitably.

Why was Ross Gulino appointed to the Plan of Conservation and Development Steering Committee when he was a plaintiff in a lawsuit to overturn Ridgeline Protection Zoning In Meriden? Should he have been allowed to determine the fate of the city-owned land on Cathole Mountain?
How much input did he have in the Plan concerning Meriden's Hanging Hills? And what about Beseck Mountain where his company owned land?
He should be disqualified from serving on the Planning Commission because of his participation in the lawsuit.
