The Editor's Notepod, Tues., Nov. 24, 2009

Area: Animal control costs more than is received in licensing fees. Per the Yankee Institute. Whoever suggested that license fees were intended to pay for animal control? Consider the point of view of the source of this study: it sets up a false premise and then scores against it with its study.

State: Democratic lawmakers scored much better on the environmental front than Republican. Per the League of Conservation Voters. Why is this not a surprise? And again, consider the point of view of the source.

Meriden: The railroad station area clean-up project is a step in the right direction, even though we object to the erection of a fence which ends a crossing hallowed, well, sort of, by 150 years of use, to Colony Street from State. But if ever a high speed train line comes to be on the Springfield line, such informal crossings will certainly end . . . as will the grade-level crossings in both Meriden and Wallingford.
