The Editor's Notepod, Sun., Nov. 22, 2009

Wallingford: It rather goes without saying that “greening” the school system wasn’t particularly a part of the last $72 million renovation. That wasn’t the goal . . . perhaps it should have been, but one imagines that $72 was probably enough for most people, anyway.

Area: Don’t miss the opportunity to have your leaves collected. This week it happens in many local districts.

Meriden: sorry, the stuff about Meriden being a “bad” landlord – which, in context, means buying the wrong properties at the wrong time – won’t wash. When the city takes action in these cases, there is usually a reason – such as the inability of a would-be developer to carry through the plan. Without city purchases, most of these properties would just be empty and rotting. Market’s a great idea, but it doesn’t float all boats or buildings.

We add our voice to those hoping to change GM’s mind about Meriden's Alderman Motors. The corporate decision seems badly misguided.
