The Editor's Notepod, Thur., Dec. 3, 2009

Wallingford: for goodness sake, if the state – as it should – is going to regulate the potentially polluting activities and businesses within a watershed area (and what isn’t within some watershed area?) then it has to proceed in a proper way, all the Ts crossed, all the Is dotted.

Southington: since the special taxing district created by the legislature was vetoed last year and the project set back a year, it seems the climate has changed and that the developer of Greenwood Commons will need to find state grants instead of selling municipal bonds. While it’s a project well-worth doing, we are not holding our breath in this economy in the expectation of seeing it occur any time soon.

Wallingford: it will be interesting to see whether the dog ordinance and the zoning fines make it through the ordinance committee next Tuesday.

Area/Southington: the growing need for every consumer outlet to have an Internet presence. Sales toted up on Black Friday and Cyber Monday demonstrate this. It’s a challenge for everyone. Ten commandments of on-line shopping should be helpful to tyros.
