The Editor's Notepod, Sun., Feb. 21, 2010

Southington: part of the funds from Solvents Recovery Services clean-up will go to building and extending the nearby linear trail. This will be a significant benefit to residents above and beyond the clean-up itself, which, though necessary, offers little in the way of tangible improvement in the local scene.

Wallingford: parents are getting out to support the local school budget, which faces some tough hurdles in the days ahead, especially in light of the mayor’s austerity determination. It will be a matter of demonstrating muscle.

Meriden: A unanimous vote on the high school plan would be a positive demonstration of unity and a way to get the necessary project going without setting up a situation for constant sniping, but it isn’t necessary, we suppose. It is really a recognition that the city is committed to the support of its schools for the next 50 years, not just muddling by with spare-change repairs.
