Meriden: The options for the high school program seem to have changed from 1) facelift 2) rebuilding “like new” and 3) building two new schools elsewhere, to 1) renovate (a 5-year plan and disruptive) 2) build a new Maloney elsewhere then send Platt students to M while P is taken down and rebuilt 3) build a new M on site, then proceed as in 2; and 4) some complicated and unspecified build and renovate combo. No numbers, but everyone knows the bidding starts at over $100 million. The whole thing seems somewhat terrifying.
Wallingford: hearing on temporary signs and enforcement. The state of the economy is really irrelevant. Either signs are allowed or they are not, and it doesn’t really make any difference how anxious for business people are.
State: The big and ugly divorce case. While the matter is certainly private, wealth does have its burdens. It’s nice, isn’t it, that there are still people who can argue whether or not $43 million is a fair nuptial share of a $329 million fortune.
Meriden: funding for the Springfield railroad line remains sort of underway, with stimulus money, but there are so many related project downtown related to flooding and Brownfields it sometimes seems that it will never be done.
