No one should complain overmuch about local water and sewer rates. Connecticut in general and our local area in particular, in spite of the wretched industrial treatment of water supplies and the enormous quantities of chemicals and metals dumped on the ground and into the water over the last century and a half, still has a rich and cheap supply of water for general consumption. And, regardless of an occasional bad smell, thanks to lingering warm weather and an algae bloom, it’s safe and wholesome.
The Democrats’ state budget remedy seems to have rescued any number of non-profits from disaster, which is probably worth postponing the reduction in the inheritance tax to do. We hope it’s enough.
Meriden: council has set a preliminary hearing on the new high schools for next month with tentative vote on setting the option to follow in February. There’s really no choice about the matter, unless the city opts to let the schools remain as they are. The process is set in motion, it has been discussed already for years, and if citizens are surprised, they’ve probably not been paying attention.
Southington: It is of course proper that the PZC members themselves not be involved in inspecting the VIP inventory when the inspection gets underway. That’s not their job, but that of the professional staff of the town.
Meriden: The near collapse of a signal structure has left Pratt Street with fewer than usual lights. Drivers won’t mind, but pedestrians may, and certainly the manually controlled signal at the fire department must be restored. The lights at Cedar and Mill pretty much duplicated each other, since they work in tandem. It would be difficult to pick one or the other.
