The Editor's Notepod, Sun., Oct. 11, 2009

Southington: the closing or relocation of The Hartford’s offices will have a deleterious effect upon the town, unavoidably . . . but the town is resilient.

Cheshire, Southington, Meriden: Chiefs of police and no-confidence votes. The issue of reining in a chief, whether by a town manager or mayor or by union membership is kind of interesting. Present protections no doubt stem from practice of firing a chief every time there was a change of administration – a municipal “spoils” system.

Elementary and middle schools are institutionalizing good behavior through the Positive Behavior Support Program, with posters shown at Nathan Hale. This is what “civility” in public life has to do with, and Meriden is doing its part in encouraging its return.
