The Editor's Notepod, Tues., Aug. 11, 2009

Southington: Councilor Pocock would like to have the practice of posting verbatim council minutes after meetings restored. This used to be standard practice in most places, particularly for minutes of public bodies. Congress publishes a verbatim record of its proceedings, which includes a whole lot of material simply submitted. But verbatim readings of council meetings, presumably prepared by keyboard from electronically-collected data and then posted, do go on. It is likely more information than most people want.

Meriden:
Another attempt by the Housing Authority, with private entrepreneurial partnering, to obtain funding to redevelop Chamberlain Heights, which, heaven knows, needs it. It’s up to the CHFA to decide on a grant. So far, not much help.
