Wallingford: Roof raised over razed barn on the Johnson Mansion. If the town really wants to save older structures – and this is not the moment, probably to mention the American Legion Building – it would be good to allocate the kinds of funds such projects require.
Wallingford: the business of notifying non-tenured teachers they may not have their contracts renewed is kind of brutal, although surely, given the budget process so far and the fact that teachers are likely to know their own particular status, it is not a surprise announcement.
State: Rep. Larson makes a good point in the UTC case. Why should UTC expect our state delegation to lobby for contracts for them if they plan to give Connecticut the bird?
Meriden: Modest sums to be allocated to Friends of Falcon Field, as similar sums are allocated to other non-profits to help volunteer maintenance at various city facilities. It seems a reasonable way of proceeding.
Cheshire: it looks as if school system and town are squaring up for a face-off. IT’s a dangerous game.
State: sales tax law for internet sales. If the US Supreme Court has already ruled that taxes cannot be levied without a physical presence, we’re all barking up the wrong tax tree. Tax on purchasers doesn’t work very well either. But that case, if it prohibits state sales taxes, is pernicious and wrong.
