The Editor's Notepod, Tue., Apr. 20, 2010

Southington: there’s a lot of fuss over the 22-page “adult-business” regulations which have been written and will go to a public hearing on May 4. No doubt everything will be spelled out, though why a police background check to sell “adult” material should be required is something of a question mark.

Southington: bogus $100 bills have been noted and the Secret Service called in. In case you didn’t know, the government, even in the electronic age, takes counterfeiting very seriously and earnestly prosecutes would-be copiers. Don’t try.

Meriden: the improved bond rating the city has earned from Standard & Poor should wind up saving taxpayers considerable money in interest payments over the life of upcoming bonds.

Cheshire: While we suspect that few people will feel very sorry for either defendant in the home invasion murder case, it is interesting nevertheless to learn that the man on trial wishes to skip the jury selection process, reason not given. Permission was denied by the judge, but the story goes on to relate that the actual process is grueling and requires the defendant to arise at 3:30 a.m. every morning, on fairly short daytime rations, and a return time around 7 p.m.
