Meriden: The budget is set. Probably not a great surprise that the tax rate will go up nearly a mill. While the proposed budget would have avoided this, the outcry could certainly have been anticipated and several im-portant city activities preserved. It is worth noting, in passing, that it is the outer tax district which will see an increase and, for those who don’t remember, the outer district is not a doughnut with the inner district being the hole in the doughnut. The outer district is the whole city, the inner district that part which was within the original city line of 1867; hence a .97 mill tax hike in the outer district is a hike for the whole city.
Wallingford: Visiting Nurses under the budgetary gun, apparently due to an offer by MidState to perform some of the same services for less. It might have been good to let the VNA know about the offer and perhaps given the organization, which has a history of service to the community, the chance to make a bid also.
