The Editor's Notepod, Sun., Aug. 2, 2009

Wallingford: The Choate Rosemary Hall relationship with the town is an interesting and mutually beneficial one. It's also slightly ambiguous. More than slightly.

Meriden/state: drug-free zone law. Well, it's fine for a state rep. from Newtown to suggest that Bridgeport, Hartford Stamford or Waterbury should be striving for "zero tolerance," but she should try living there. The zone charge, with its ridiculous mandatory jail terms, is used as a club to get defendants to plead to lesser crimes in returnb for nolles. And the whole drug epidemic, with its destructive consequences, which are worse than mere drug use itself, on the communitiy.

Meriden: The piece on Bradley Park reveals that there's a ton of history in the neighborhood.
