The Editor's Notepod, Tues., Nov. 10, 2009

State: Rell’s decision can only be lauded. Way too many officials hold on till a bitter end and then quit under pressure, leaving followers unprepared for any eventuality. Also, the decision frees her up to exert her considerable good will for the benefit of the state without a lot of the re-election baggage.

Wallingford:
While we recognize the difficulties that the Oakdale now faces, needing new sponsorship at that large and no doubt expensive facility, there are certainly residents of the area who were very fond of the place when known as Oakdale and who felt some displacement when it became the rather grandiose and certainly commercial Chevrolet Theatre, who will be glad to see a resumption of the old label. We certainly wish good things for the venue, regardless of name.

Cheshire: it will be informative not only for the public but probably for the police department to see the reaction of the soon-to-be-seated town council to the possibility of mediation in the disenchantment between chief and union.

Meriden: watch out for scams, particularly persons posing as utility workers. Insist on positive identification at all times. Just common sense.

Wallingford: PZC interested in having authority to enforce regulations through signs. As noted, this may turn out to be a hard sell.
