The Editor's Notepod, Thur., Feb. 25, 2010

Meriden: Progress toward funding Phase II of Meriden’s Linear Trail, planned to extend another 1.2 miles from Dossin Beach to the Platt High School parking lot. While the planned version differs significantly from that already in existence – there’s no gorge along the extension, for example – it’s a fine asset to add to the city’s stock.

Wallingford: Debut of the new Cleaves Agricultural Science and Technology Center at Lyman Hall this week, at last celebrating the official opening. This new facility has made very good first impressions and we look forward to its future flowerings.

Meriden: Mayor Rohde attends session of M.O.R.E. where increasing the hotel tax from 12 to 15 percent is discussed. Since it’s on non-residents, this tax seems to be okay with most people. It does seem inevitable that there will need to be some tax increases to keep state and local heads above water.
