The Editor's Notepod, Sat., July 18, 2009

Southington: Charter Revision again. Now there are complaints over how the commission meeting has been noticed and who can vote on what. Standard definitions of conflicts of interest involve money and financial interests: it’s hard to see that either member Jim Verderame, as chair of the Police Commission, or member Dave Zoni, as councilor has any business conflict. But change in perception is always happening.

Wallingford: two of the plaintiffs in the firefighters case in New Haven spoke about their testimony. The “mixed feelings” about the case as described by the head of the Wallingford Coalition for Unity are altogether appropriate. It’s a two-edged sword, and the Supreme Court majority just turned it around the other way.

Cheshire: the community pool is back with bids of up to $5.6 million for a new structure to replace the bubble. Go to it!
