Meriden: Mayoral primary basically underway, though neither candidate seems to know yet how much it's likely to cost.
State: Proposal to raise "sin" taxes, on alcohol and tobacco tends to strike, as does the sales tax, the least affluent hardest. It's fine to suggest that people shouldn't drink or smoke if they're poor, but raising the prices on drinks in bars, already coping with the smoking ban, is apt to be counter-productive.
Meriden: Kogut planting along Memorial Boulevard and now doing voluntary maintenance along it. This is a good idea that can't be forced but could certainly be encouraged.
