Southington: The Mt. Southington ski facility has plans to replace its 30-year-old T-bar lift with a three-seater chair lift. Anyone who has ridden a T-bar anywhere will be glad to hear this news; it was approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Southington’s Charter Revision Commission is now down to brass tacks and considering the basic form of government the town should have. There’s no harm in discussing such questions, but was the petition to convene a charter panel really an expression of intent to open the entire charter to discussion as if new?
Meriden: discussions between unions and town management are underway — a good thing, from which we expect good results. The incidental comments from both sides, though interesting, should probably not be taken as expressions of hard positions. And, for goodness’ sake, if it’s a matter of councilors accepting a 5% reduction in their stipend to win some concessions, don’t hesitate long!
Cheshire: the discussions over the bid prices for trash-hauling contracts for the town raise questions about bid-waivers, about the effect on local contractors with all their eggs in one contract, about experience of a new company and others. Knotty.
Meriden: School system looking at budget arrangements now that the budget has been set. Best news seems to be that the city could actually send 40 kids to Wintergreen in Hamden, which would save $95,000 in state reimbursements. Presumably, Hamden will be sending kids to Edison?
