The Editor's Notepod, Thur., Oct. 15, 2009

Wallingford: Choate Rosemary is going to go and find another way to proceed, since the Town Council won’t consider an offer. It’s the town’s loss. Too bad.

The decision of all four local libraries to stock the reprehensible book about the home invasion murders in Cheshire is unpopular but correct. The book, by description only, seems both exploitative and violative of court orders, but that’s not a reason for censorship. Libraries carry Marx and Hitler, even though much therein is rejected by people.

Southington: youths congregating behind Derynoski. If they’re not doing anything illegal, beyond littering and smoking, is it worthwhile trying to chase them away?

Southington:
Ethics complaints dismissed. Seem that most people would consider that there is something wrong with divulging the nature of an ethics complaint before it is heard; ultimately, what’s the point of secrecy?
