The Editor's Notepod, Fri., Mar. 26, 2010

Meriden: city plans to do all dispatches (adding the medical calls) with its in-house dispatch office. There is some state incentive to unify all emergency calls, and we will see whether the change is justified by the results.

Given the record of inaction after acquisition on a few other properties, it’s probably just as well that the town of Wallingford doesn’t have any interest in 91 S. Main St., for which the municipality is said to have no use.

Southington: the right moves were taken to make the process of redistricting middle and elementary schools as seamless as possible. Now that the board has accepted the plan, it will be interesting to see if any troubles arise.

State: the eight judicial nominations form a fine red herring to generate partisan sniping, but they are nothing but a symbolic expense – you can’t not hire prison guards either.

Wallingford: more information on the ballistics report about bullets heading into a Durham neighborhood.

Meriden: word is out concerning Phase 3 of the linear trail, including some which would run near Harbor Brook. Well, providing flood control isn’t compromised (and there’s no reason it should) why not?

Southington: well, the hopes for trimming town health insurance costs result in no savings, but do apparently avoid a 1.5 percent increase in insurance.
