The Editor's Notepod, Wed., Feb. 10, 2010

Middletown: questions rising, as they inevitably do, following the blast at the plant under construction.

Area: school systems. One begins to get the feeling that participants are ready to let what happens happen in terms of budget setting. At least in Meriden and Wallingford. After the anguish over givebacks and concessions, the feeling seems to be more “do it and get it over with.”

Meriden: The Recreation Facilities Task Force will reconvene soon to complete its report on projects deemed desirable in the city. That will be a useful document for councilors to have, even if there isn’t money to fund programs as they might wish.

State: if the state’s contribution to costs of running UConn, and students’ tuitions and shares keep rising, at what point does it cease to be a public university? This is worth thinking about as everyone scurries to save money.

Meriden: as the gates ceased to function on Tuesday afternoon, the city had another demonstration of why it might be wonderful to have the road go over or under the railroad.
