Area: Towns expect property taxes to continue to be paid, economy notwithstanding. No real surprise here, since local taxes get paid first and can and do result in liens if unpaid. But town budgets are based on this, and a delinquency rate up a percent or two can have consequences.
Meriden: city preparing to accept streets which it is already maintaining. These make sense. It also seems to make sense to require that all new streets meet standards and that those in Planned Residential Communities mesh with some other or equivalent standard. As for the few old streets that are not now cared for, they’ll have to be negotiated each by each.
Wallingford: The town/gown discussion over Old Durham Road continues. The petition, per se, does not seem unreasonable, given the plans. The difficulty will be in the details — and the emotions beneath them.
State: renters’ rebate program is one previously unknown to us, but seems a good idea.
Meriden: Air conditioning story. Just shows to go you that there’s nothing that doesn’t do someone some harm. Cool weather and rain seem to punish air conditioner offices; but then the rain boosts sales of dehumidifiers.
State: the health department investigation of a hospital, causing a closure of an integral part of its operations without any revealed allegation seems a damaging way to go about fixing something wrong.
