The Editor's Notepod, Tues., July 21, 2009

Wallingford: The town has wanted that boathouse for some time, and regardless of the parity of the assessment, which at best is apt to be a kind of guess, it’s a good swap. The donor has stepped forward and made himself known, and it doesn’t really seem that he’s being outrageous. The center would be a fine thing.

State: Veto overrides, especially the SustiNet bill, seems to demonstrate a force of will in the legislature.

State: Anthem applies for rate increases of between 20 and 32 percent. These are on, apparently, individual policies, which rather concentrates the pain. And the justification is? Here’s evidence of why a public, single-payer medical care system in needed.

Meriden: the 2041 club case. It really seems that if the defendant, accused of running a whore house on the Berlin Turnpike, has been in jail since arrest in January, and since his bank accounts have been frozen, he ought to be given time to work out some sort of arrangement with his attorney. If he can’t pay for representation, he’ll wind up qualifying for the public defender, and that will not exactly be cheaper.
