Area: the numbers on new housing starts are really down, though somehow Southington remains a leader with more than twice the starts. It is interesting to read, or to try to read the tealeaves.
Wallingford: Jerry Farrell Jr. is going to run for secretary of the state, apparently. How long has it been since we had a local candidate for statewide office?
Congratulations to Cheshire First Congregational Church’s choir director, Joe D’Eugenio, named director of the year by the state chapter of the American Choir Directors Association.
Southington: that sewer pipe over the Quinnipiac may never have caused a severe problem, but when it was built no one much cared what was dumped into that river. During the last decades, much has been done, and this water-level pipe needs to be replaced. It’s a public health issue ad could become a critical one.
Meriden: The compromise on Miles Place – which seems to be more precisely an ingenious strategy for solving a problem which is more technical and legal than real – should be promptly endorsed and executed by the City Council.
In Cheshire, the Webster prison was closed out with prisoners and guards transferred elsewhere. While this may indeed save some money even without layoffs or prisoner reductions, it is worth noting that the state’s prison population is down overall about 1,600. At $25,000 each per year, that’s a savings of $ 40 million, or should be.
