The Editor's Notepod, Tues., August 4, 2009

Wallingford: sidewalk repairs have been pushed back from year to year, although the essential system seems fairly logical. Curious that it is trees planted in the area between sidewalk and highway curb belong to town, which it will not permit homeowners to trim, yet often charges those owners for repairs of sidewalks damaged by said trees.

Cheshire: Historic District fees proposed to increase. Why would Historic District fees rise independently of other construction fees? Because of the research?

Meriden: we didn’t care for the theft of two boats from a boat trailer parked at the Quinnipiac River Watershed Association’s headquarters next to Hanover Pond, in the middle of the day. But we liked the boating program for which these boats were intended. Boat safety and confidence is like swimming lessons for kids: everyone should have the training.
