Wallingford: New North Farms Fire Station, delayed by domestic dispute, may need to be renegotiated or dropped. That property does seem to be a good one for the town to secure, even if restricted to a firehouse, and neighbors who are opposed might well consider whether they’d rather have a firehouse or see the whole parcel developed into homes.

Cheshire: end of the grant to fight underage drinking finds adults both discouraged and encouraged by the big party broken up last Saturday evening. Perhaps the answer is not to work on kids but on their parents by busting them when kids are found drinking.

State: shift in approach by the state Department of Transportation from billion dollar highway expansions to improvements in mass transit. Not only is there a change in the climate of federal funding but there’s also a sea change among state residents.
