Wallingford: the trenches are getting deeper as both sides dig in over the school budget. Facing the fact that controlling the budget will take increasing taxes, reducing expenses and compromise, what part of sharing the pain do people not understand?
Meriden: The Regional Children’s Court out on East Main Street, now operating as intended, is dealing with important family issues in an intimate and intense situation. Creation of this court was a good idea.
State: the judicial branch has apparently decided to make an issue of visible tattoos on the skin of judicial marshals, whose union has now filed a grievance about the matter. This seems a strange issue on which to take a stand today.
Southington: it seems as if it is time to face up to issues of renovating or adding to the middle schools, now approaching the 50-year benchmark. All the choices are going to be expensive, but a committee of stakeholders to consider the matter and make a recommendation could be helpful.
Housing authorities in Meriden and Wallingford have no apparent plans to institute a smoking ban within public housing. Of course it’s a good idea if everyone quits smoking, but a ban of this type – as recommended by HUD, apparently – is likely to do more harm than good.
