The Editor's Notepod, Sun., Aug. 30, 2009

Area/Meriden: it would seem that the flu's second manifestation, in its autumn flowering, will me met with better defenses and with a set of public officials who have a rational, careful, but matter-of-fact approach to the disease.

Southington: the betting is that Southington is likely to have a difficult time trying to halt the VIP business. There is nothing illegal that has been done under the rules, and his approach is businesslike and apparently above board. People just don't like the business.

Area: Interviews with people regarding insurance reform. Clearly -- if anything is clear -- a person's own pocketbook issues color that person's thought. This is a moment for a concern with higher interests, but it's dubious politicians will allow themselves to do that or that the most vigorous proponents and opponents will let them.

Wallingford: North Farms Reservoir Dredging will have to wait, while MacKenzie has gotten started.

Southington: there's a whole field of study worth doing sometime about tax incentives and their effects.
