The Editor's Notepod, Fri., Apr. 23, 2010

Southington: the charter revision members who wanted a contract for the manager are taking the issue to petition after council rejection. While we mainly agree with the logic of a contract, it begins to feel more like a struggle to see who’s in charge rather than a disagreement over good government.

Meriden/Wallingford: it’s more than time for the two municipalities to sit down and reason together over such issues as the Veterans’ Service Center and inter-city bus routes, and so on. It’s easier to talk about reason than to do it, and one should be wary of unexpected and unintended consequences. Sometimes when you ask a question, you actually get an answer, and it is not one you like.

Southington: School board prepares to look at items to be trimmed to meet the budget for presentation Monday. A round-up of the usual suspects.

Cheshire: it will be interesting to see which way the council will jump concerning the community swimming pool and replacing its bubble. And it will somewhat later be interesting to see how voters react.
