The Editor's Notepod, Thur., Feb. 4, 2010

Southington: it would seem that a solution to the town’s need for more and better office space has been found in the North Center School, vacated by the youngsters. Just because a building is no longer best for a school doesn’t mean other uses cannot be found.

Wallingford: the bidding process is a little off center for the community and mental health services which it decided upon last year. It will be interesting to see if the town gets better value for its money after the dust settles.

Cheshire: is it a sign of the times, perhaps, that so many establishments failed the test on checking for IDs during the sting operation last month? It’s too bad that the rules seem to be carelessly applied.

Southington: so Hartford Health Care and Hospital of Central Connecticut are working toward a joint operation. No real surprise. Health care is increasingly managed by larger outfits. The real issue is whether they all remain charitable, non-stock corporations. Should the state ever allow them to alter to stock companies, the result will hurt the people of the state.
