The Editor's Notepod, Wed., Apr. 1, 2009

Meriden: Police budget. The Chief wants to pump the training budget up a bit to avoid lawsuits, and that sounds like a good plan. The other way to go, of course, is to lay off officers, or not hire replacements, and that carries exposure too.

Meriden: Library Budget. It is a shame that the trimming required, when the library has more users than ever, leaves the system with a choice of reducing hours or not buying materials.

State: One horrible incident with a chimpanzee is no excuse for adding a ridiculous list of pets people aren’t allowed to have. If something needs to be done, stop with the lists and make an intelligible policy.

Wallingford:
The mayor’s budget will be awaited with interest and probably anxiety among employees and taxpayers.
