The Editor's Notepod, Tues., Feb. 2, 2010

Wallingford: Interesting that, although the state is responsible for “state” roads, which means that localities cannot take any steps to cure problems themselves, the state offers as a reason for problems that motorists don’t obey the rules. One suspects that flouting the rules tends to happen more as roads become congested and un-fixed and people get frustrated. But then, if the road is improved, more people will use it. Chicken? Egg?

Meriden: strange as it may seem, Lincoln, though home to students since 2005, has not yet been “audited” by state building officials. It’s a perfectly proper, if lengthy process, and would the public really have it run so that everything was completed bing, bang, boom, and THEN the problems were discovered after all the paperwork was done? It is a public process, hence the emphasis on step-by-step action.

Wallingford:
the discussion on reconfiguration continues to concern many parents. Since the savings are fairly minimal, is there a reason the change has to be made with such precipitation? The case is to be made . . . and it probably involves class size.
