The Editor's Notepod, Fri., Oct. 2, 2009

Southington: A study committee for land use along West Street for “proper” use, since the land is not being used “properly.” The aim is to change zoning to allow more light industrial sites along what is now mainly a residential zone. Patterns have changed, and this is a far more heavily travelled road than formerly . . . but what do current residential owners think? Better to ask now than after the zoning is changed.

Cheshire: Having trimmed staff in the school budget, the concern now is over class size. It does stand to reason that the two have some relationship to each other.

Wallingford: changes in Story time at the Public Library to help reflect modern attention and concerns. The public library, not only in Wallingford but in every community, offers about the best governmental bang for the buck.

Wallingford: paying extra to print the charter revision questions on the ballot. There shouldn’t be any whining about the cost, but it was the same in Meriden over the primary. If the logic of the objectors is accepted, the nominees should be limited to those which short names to reduce the cost of printing.
