The Editor's Notepod, Thur., June 24, 2010

Cheshire: the police chief’s decision to retire, apparently un-pushed, leaves the department clear to move forward without having to wrestle any further with the personnel issue. That is, assuming that the whole problem was merely a conflict between styles.

Cheshire: the town is setting residents on the QT that, on some now-unsewered streets residents or owners may expect sewers to expand. Given the eventual pace of development, it makes sense that a greater and greater percentage of the town, along with most other communities of any size, prepare for municipal waste systems.

State: passengers on a flight from London wound up stranded at Bradley for way too long … apparently exempt, as an international flight, from federal restrictions on keeping passengers waiting on the tarmac. That’s a crazy exemption, but it’s also crazy that passengers couldn’t be processed by immigration officials, that they couldn’t be let off the plane, that they weren’t told what the problem was.

State: will a new law requiring all motor cycle license applicants take a course improve safety? We can only hope so.

Wallingford: the final staff reductions have been decided upon and the required notices sent out. Cost cutting remains the only real justification for the reconfiguration.
