The Editor's Notepod, Fri., Apr. 2, 2010

Southington: Charles Motes, Jr., the town’s health director, has made an enterprise for the town’s benefit out of his interest in the collection of weather data. His addition to the records of the area is significant – as well as, obviously, fun for Motes.

Wallingford: Sewer rate hikes are on the table and probably in the pipeline. If water consumption in town declined significantly after the last rate hike, as reported by the general manager, one might wonder if another raise would accomplish what is intended.
Meriden: it seems only yesterday that the last round of property revaluation was accomplished and settled. And here we are once again!

Meriden’s plan of application for the Community Development block grant is included on page 17. There are many important pieces of the money from Uncle Sam which tops off at just over $1 million.

Cheshire: it would seem that the stated wish of one defendant in the murder and home invasion case would change a great deal – but also, oddly, not that much. When the death penalty is involved, nothing happens easily, nor should it.

Meriden had, with 4.36 inches of rain during last week’s storm, enough to get good and wet, but not enough to cause the sort of flooding which has plagued downtown in the past. That was good luck, but maybe also the fact that some improvements have been carried out. Also, maybe Mother Nature knows we’ve got an eye on her watery tricks, too.
