The Editor's Notepod, Fri., June 12, 2009

Meriden: Teachers’ Union and the Board of Education. Story says there are 70 fewer teachers now than a few years ago. That’s a fact of some significance. It would be good if the entire pie involving teachers and administration and board were all on the table at the same time to be examined.

Wallingford: Charter panel turns down Brodinsky’s idea about inter-municipal ethics boards. An interesting idea.

State: A good new law! The one requiring labels on bins for used clothing. Some folks don’t care how their old stuff gets used, but others have a charitable intent frustrated when used to make a buck.

Cheshire: The issue of noise is one to be listened to. Apparently there was an earlier effort to create an anti-noise ordinance, which did not reach law. Perhaps it is time to do so, though it is a difficult subject and hard to enforce after an activity has been continuing for some years.
