Wallingford: it is good that the farm produce regulations in the zoning ordinance have been rationalized. It may be difficult to tell if particular tomatoes are locally grown, but if any stand begins selling mangoes or bananas, or squash in April, there’s probably a problem.
Cheshire: While the economy certainly is a player in the delays of the W/S Developers’ plan for 400 acres near I-691, what, exactly, is the point of an 8- or 10-year extension? That really means that the developer has no responsibility to the town or the property and doesn’t need to say or do anything for that length of time. Why not keep the once-a-year rule on permits? It’s a nuisance, but at least it keeps matters on the stove.
Hartford: School board and superintendent are asking the state to intervene and suspend provisions regarding seniority in teacher contract. While there are absolutely issues with any seniority system (not to mention tenure and evaluations and merit rules) how can the provisions of a contract be unilaterally abrogated?
Meriden: decision by the council to purchase a parcel on Finch Avenue near the linear trail. It should provide a good buffer.
