Meriden: Rohde names his names: 53 appointments is a lot. Probably most notable is the Ross Gulino seat on the Planning Commission; also, the ouster of two on the ZBA. One may wonder what the purpose of these boards is supposed to be, and this wondering should be in public.
Wallingford: What does the decline in school population portend, if anything?
Meriden: Reaction to the fire station closing. This isn’t the first time this idea has been put forth by the manager: it was at least considered in 2005 and also 2003. It was studied then and there is probably material still on hand and still relevant. What’s more, the city spent $800,000 back in 1995-96 on modernizing the place.
Wallingford: Death of an Owl. We hope it does raise awareness and help get rid of the plague of leghold traps permanently.
Cheshire: Reducing overtime pay and road work duty for cops isn’t exactly the same as reducing pay — or is it?
Cheshire: Retirement incentives. If too many apply, not all may be chosen!

The city threatened to close the Broad Street Firehouse in 1991 and 1992.Then they modernized the building for $800,000 a couple of years later. After that, they alluded to closing it once again.
The major study concluded how dangerous it would be to close the station and other safety ramifications. Sounds like the city doesn't know much about Public Safety. Leave it alone.
Why is Ross Gulino being proposed for a spot on the Meriden Planning Commission? Isn't BRG Realty one of the plaintiffs suing the City of Meriden to overturn the Ridgeline Protection Zoning, and wasn't Gulino an officer in that company when the lawsuit was initiated? Meriden's Hanging Hills need advocates, not more developers overseeing the fate of our natural heritage.
