Meriden: Those who participated previously seem satisfied enough that the Salvation Army is the only group collecting at the Festival of Lights this year. At least everyone is being fairly polite about the decision, which is an understandable one, given the economy.
Meriden: the decision on what has been called Miles Place and has been the entryway to East Cemetery and has been treated as a city street for 60 years and which also apparently has a house thereon with an address seems a bit punctilious. It’s one thing to decide that the city doesn’t need to plough the street to save a few bucks; it’s another to remove a residence from what has been a city street to . . . what? An access road? It’s a difficulty.

I don't agree going forward,that the decision as to which non-profits get to participate in Hubbard Park should be at City Council level; in my opinion, that makes it "political". Giving the Salvation Army exculsive rights is not exactly playing "nice" in the sandbox.
I agree with anonymous. The idea to have the non profits in Hubbard Park to raise funds should never have been allowed. Now it appears that certain "favorites" will have that right and the decision will be up to the City Council....making it political.A very bad precedent to set and one the City Council would be wise to opt out of setting.
