Wallingford: teachers’ union doesn’t renegotiate. Now there’s an interesting facet to the business, exposed for the first time in or memory. Teachers are treated differently from other unions under state law, because of the arbitration and no strike rule. Suddenly, their attitude makes sense.
Southington: Redistricting is in the works for the elementary schools. In the past, this has been a highly fraught circumstance, but perhaps groundwork has been laid this time around.
Meriden: everything “on the table” in the school budget. As in Wallingford and elsewhere. What may need to happen is some adjustment in whatever the mechanism is which necessitates a 6 or 7 percent annual increase to remain on a level ground.
Southington: VIP store. Federal court decision delays Berlin store, but that is a different case, since Southington granted the permit perfectly legally under existing regulations. It’s fine to make new rules going forward, but it cannot change the rules which applied in the past.

Maybe if the town officials looked at the situation in Berlin and talked to the PZC BEFORE it granted the permit it would have been a different story in Southington.
