Meriden: the questionnaire sent to nominees seems to me to make some sort of sense, since there has usually not been a serious review until someone has already been confirmed and THEN found to have some sort of an issue which some people would object to in a nominee. It must be used carefully, though, and everyone should agree first on what is disqualifying.
Meriden: Assessment appeals. We probably have the technology to revalue every year. But homeowners should consider, outside of particular cases, if they really want this, since in the last two assessments, the weight of taxation has shifted from commerce to residential. Revaluation can only increase this process.
Wallingford: DeLauro talks with municipal execs about the stimulus bill’s local effects, much of which seems unclear so far.
State: legislators considering raising the age at which assault weapons and machine guns can be used (presumably in non-wartime situations). Frankly, I don’t think they can possibly raise the age enough: human beings don’t live long enough.
State: Billboard issue was never settled last year. Now, “Luv Boutique” has begun participating in the “Adopt-a-Highway” program. People are unhappy.
Meriden: The efforts of the Humane Society on behalf of those cats rescued from Summer Street last year, are phenomenal — and expensive. Donation and support clearly needed.
Southington: Meridian still interested in and working for that special Greenway Commons district bill in the legislature, to clean up and develop the Ideal Forging property. Good.
State: Truck company owner in the Avon Mtn crash in July of 2005, finally pleads in his case.
Meriden: good luck to the new sewage treatment plant manager and crew who seem to be as interested in their successful cleansing work as the rest of us.
Wallingford: the potential community value of the linear trail, as aided by these funds, in hard to underestimate.
