Meriden: the city’s police department is about to receive a million-dollar new computer system – at a small fraction of market cost – which should help improve response time, officer safety, record taking, and other helpful bells and whistles.
Wallingford: the trash-to-energy plant has upgrades, and is one of a surprisingly dwindling number of such facilities in the nation – only 90 remain and 6 are in Connecticut, the first state soon to have no municipal landfills in use. This is a good thing, not a bad thing, since not only can the plants produce electricity, but also much of the toxins can be removed before the smoke leaves the plant.
Area: it is an anomaly that more people vote in presidential elections, which often have scant impact on localities – as much as 80 percent of the registered voters – and least on local elections – maybe 30 percent – where the outcome can directly affect people and where you can go and holler at a councilor you don’t like. Could television money have anything to do with it?
