State: Republicans present a budget proposal. Okay, there are some points here, and having a proposal from the other side is a good idea. Now, once everyone's begun to talk about it, it's time to begin negotiating. There has to be a compromise, and it will certainly include some spending cuts and some tax increases. Get over it.
Wallingford: the presentation on bullying at Moran Middle School. It's a good age group to tackle, dealing, as it does, with the tendency to stereotype.
Southington: one can't say if the budget will work or not, but the addition of $25 a year on $100,000 of assessed valuation can't cause too much of a stink among taxpayers. The question will now be how loudly those hurt by the lack of funds will complain.
Meriden: that 19-year-old who seems to have put the detective in the hospital with serious injuries inflicted by motor vehicle is lucky, one would guess, not to have been shot.
Meriden: The Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Commission turns down the auto plan on Murdoch. We'll see what happens next.
Wallingford: town budget is plodding through the various council workshops. Glad to see some cash got back to the symphony at least for the Fourth.
Meriden: Big budget hearing. Lots of worries about more taxes, and about cut programs or services. What would happen if each speaker, instead of saying,"Don't cut mine" was obliged to give a suggestion about how the budget gap should be met.
