Area: interesting two-part storm, as everyone noticed. It’s not always an easy decision to decide whether to postpone or cancel a scheduled activity due to weather: too early, and people call you a wimp, too late and they call you an idiot. One thing sure, though, if you do drive in the snow, use good judgment once out in the snow on the highway.
Meriden: City and owners of Townline will be needing to find a new tenant to replace ShopRite, which is moving to the Shaw’s site in Wallingford . . .and whoever goes into Townline will vacate some other place, and so it goes.
State/local: replacing the BEST system with the TEAM system of evaluating new teachers seems a good plan. It replaces a statewide testing system with a locally centered mentoring system, and makes more sense, since the aim of neither system seems to be to arbitrarily eliminate people from the profession.
Meriden: the idea of offering public employees an incentive to switch to a spouse’s health insurance makes sense in theory, and would if, presumably, employees did so in large numbers. But one wonders why anyone would voluntarily give up the insurance benefits offered by towns and cities and the state; it’s hard to imagine any incentive large enough.
