The Editor's Notepod, Sat., May 23, 2009

State: death penalty repealed by votes of both House and Senate; governor vows to veto. This is a continuing debate, of course, and unlike others, offers little possibility of middle ground.

Wallingford: the town has a budget without a veto.

Cheshire: the issue of the bidding process for the waste contract is not that the deal could have been sweeter, but that the apparent low bid was disqualified before any reliance was placed upon it. Henceforth, one can assume, insurance bonds will be routinely checked.

Southington: the town will miss the voice of Glenn Klocko on the Board of Finance. Klocko, who intends to play more trumpet and do more fly fishing, may not miss the action so much as he enjoys his serious hobbies.
