The Editor's Notepod, Sat., Jan. 9, 2010

Meriden: if the city, or the board of education really wants Mark Benigni for the next superintendent – and Meriden could certainly do a lot worse very easily, especially since it has been decided not to hire a screening firm – why not just say so? If a process is gone through which results in his selection, there will be a huge temptation on the part of some to say the process was rigged.

Wallingford: the school budget makes some large changes and some big cuts. The time frame to accept this plan is very brief, and it may not get the hearing it deserves.

Area: Saab owners, with an echo of the Saab distribution center on Murdock Avenue and the visit of the Swedish princess, consider the GM inability to sell the quondam Swedish carmaker to anyone at all and the consequent plan to close up shop. The whole sequence seems kind of pointless.

Southington: good work by police has resulted in arrests of persons in connection with the rash of thefts of items from unlocked cars. Among other things, here’s a good incentive to lock your car, even in your own driveway.
