The Editor's Notepod, Fri., June 18, 2010

Wallingford: some residents or landowners (not the same thing, necessarily) want the zoning around Rt 68/I-91 interchange loosened up for more kinds of development. Others in the area, notably Leigus Rd. residents and those near the proposed new North Farms Vol. Fire Dept., would like to see zoning restricted. It’s a balancing process.

Meriden’s Mayor Rohde and Southington’s Town Manager Weichsel are both now on the board of directors of the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities. While the scope of legislative or even joint action is limited to common interests, it’s a worthwhile group to be involved with, as it also collects and disseminates much common municipal experience.

Southington: economics students at the high school participated and made a highly competitive showing at a Harvard University Pre-Collegiate Economics Challenge. There’s no reason at all why more public schools should not pick up this particular gauntlet along with the private schools which have the freedom to choose such options.
