The Editor's Notepod, Mon., Sept. 7, 2009

State: union membership has declined in Connecticut, though not, seemingly in public sector jobs. Doesn’t this represent a decline in manufacturing jobs, where union membership had become more acceptable? A lot of jobs more recently eliminated were white collar, where union membership has never been widespread.

Meriden: there are occasional uses of counterfeit bills in the city. Surely, this is a big time federal crime. Didn’t know anyone bothered with this anymore, since it was so possible to make illegal millions on the market.

State: it is not good news that the number of gun registrations are up in the state. More guns, registered or unregistered, mean, inevitably, more shootings.

Southington: The Community Foundation of Greater New Britain and the Ameri­can Savings Foundation are co-spon­soring a series of workshops on how non-profits can survive in this economic climate with diminishing grants. Good idea.
