The Editor's Notepod, Sat., May 30, 2009

Southington: the Charter Revision Commission appears to have ditched the idea of ditching the Board of Finance, but will continue to look at budget referenda. The trick will to make it effective rather than obstructive, which isn't always easy.

Wallingford: Buick-Pontiac-GMC dealership seems destined to remain, post bankruptcy. We hope it all works well. Meriden: Arcade games may return to Westfield Mall. Unlike previous "arcade" issues, the possibility now seems to be generating no particular concern. Does that mean everyone is now used to the Internet?

State: the State ethics board is going after the diocese of Bridgeport for opposing legislation aimed directly at its head and then withdrawn, about how the ecclesiastical churches are organized. There is a concern over any church participation in political issues, whatever they are, but why shouldn't the churchbe able, without the fuss of registering, to oppose a proposal aimed at its leadership.
