Cheshire: It’s hard not to be rather unconvinced by the idea of a $3.4 million savings to be found for the state in closing Webster Correctional Institution, since no prisoners are being released and no staff is being reduced. But Cheshire residents long-bothered by the presence of the prisons will probably not complain. Especially since the PILOT program somehow is not affected.
Southington: the new chair of the council has named a number of new committees. While this may surprise some, it is the professional way to do things and that committee of chairs is a really good idea.
Meriden: Well, since the matter was raised, the ACLU will have a look at the implications of naming the Salvation Army as the only group to fund-raise at the Park this year. One suspects that it may be only a look. The SA, for one thing, though a religious organization, has grants which prohibit proselytizing. For another, though no one has said so, the fact that none of the other charities which had participated in 07 and 08 stepped up to help plan suggests that just maybe not enough was given to make the effort worthwhile. It would be interesting to know how much anyone actually made.
