The Editor's Notepod, Wed., Apr. 29, 2009

Southington: The status of Chief Daly, or at least his popularity, is decided. As noted, there is much work to be done to repair the relationship between chief and the force. While the charter revision folks may change something, there’s nothing to be gained by waiting.

Wallingford: It is good to see that the town Council has done the right thing by the testament of Mrs. Juul regarding her gift to animal welfare. The point about future donations was not lost on councilors, regardless of the legalities.

Wallingford: the closing of the Saturn dealership is too bad but, considering GM’s intentions, entirely understandable. The dealership, Executive Auto Group, seems to be doing as well as it can by employees. Too bad, really, as I recall what a fine experiment Saturn was when the brand was created.

State: Bottle bill case. One can see why bottlers are angry about having to turn over the unclaimed deposits on bottles to the state; they may have become very fond of that little nest egg over the years. What’s harder to figure is why the state ever let them keep the small change in the first place. It’s a good example of why issues should be dealt with when they arise.
