The Editor's Notepod, Tues. June 8, 2010

Wallingford: It was the right choice to do nothing about the Chichowski property at this point. Eminent domain is a tool when necessity requires it, which is not now in this case.

Meriden: Approval of a new operator of Meriden-Markham Airport is a good move, even if it amounts to only a “Bird in the hand” – and for the same reasons. The economy will improve, and the airport can move with it.

A multi-year plan appears to be in the works for the Wallingford school system. We hope the committee which works on the program with the consultants (ACES) proves to be the right people and will work creatively and effectively.

Cheshire: it’s too bad that the discussion over the artificial turf field, after a couple of years of debate and investigation with a resolution establishing a plan, seems again to be caught up in partisan feeling. Plenty of school systems, including ones less affluent than Cheshire, have decided that artificial turf is the way to go; there’s a plan in place, so let it proceed.
