Meriden: School board ranks the cuts. Nothing looks very promising.
Wallingford: budget dropping the Fourth of July celebration: it may be a symbolic gesture for the town, but it’s probably of great significance both to whatever firm will NOT be doing a fireworks display and to the Symphony, neither of which has much way of absorbing such a loss.
Meriden: The way to keep Engine 3, which its supporters seem close to, is to win a majority on the city council. This is a miserable way to achieve a budget: it amounts to little more than determining that the squeaky wheel gets the most oil. So why not let everyone accept a 5 or a 10 percent cut? Jobs and services continue. Pain minimized.
