The Editor's Notepod, Wed., Dec. 9, 2009

Southington: police are moving into Facebook and Twitter to provide public information, which is a perfectly good way of getting information out. It will be interesting to observe how this transforms either the medium or those using it.

Meriden: there’s a plan to raise fees at Hunter Course. No one likes to see fees go up, but we’ll assume it’s necessary, and also that if someone can afford $22 for 9 holes, they can probably afford $23, and if they can spring for a $1,140 for a season pass, they can probably cope with $1,240.

Wallingford: much discussion over the possible passage of additional dog-control laws. While the desire to formalize a protocol is understandable, such a step has the earmarks of the mandatory sentences and zero tolerance rules we tend to apply in criminal court and which sound better in theory than in practice.
