Meriden: Closure of the MidState VNA is too bad, given its long history. Why, one wonders, is it having a harder time than VNA Waterbury or anywhere else? And since it is a part of the HHCC network, which provides other services, or the same services, can't it be made to work? Evidently, hospice care is a part of the VNA in this location.
Cheshire: Proposal to place liens on real estate for non-payment of parking tickets. As a last resort, that might be acceptable -- but only just. Here, there needs to be more information. How many/what percentage of tickets aren't paid? How much does it cost the town, total? Are the non-payers local or out-of-town? Are there patterns? That is, are there some places which result in more tickets than others, reflecting some issue with parking? Liens, moreover, as was made clear when there was discussion about granting tax relief for seniors, make banks very nervous. Can't see causing a foreclosure to occur over a $15 parking ticket.
Meriden/State: The idea of UConn. Hospital and HHCC forming a joint operating plan is logical and makes sense in terms of the way health care is moving. It fills a vacuum of sorts between the teaching hospital at Yale/New Haven and the next one north or east. The only drawback is the need for a half billion dollar new hospital.
Meriden: Cost of primaries. Can any part of the cost be saved or the total reduced by shortening the time the polls are opened or the number of polling places?
Southington: It would be really interesting to hear the point of view of the East Street. resident who does NOT want to have the road changed to "improve" visibility." He might have something to say -- or he might not.
