Wallingford: the arbitration process does make it difficult all around. It’s hard to see what is gained by a decision mandating raises (for three years past, moreover) when that will mean laying off workers to satisfy the award.
State: the problems facing the state retirement program demonstrate the evils of postponing costs now – when they would require taxes which no one wants – and discovering that costs are a lot more later on – when more taxes will be needed. Renegotiating benefits after they have already been guaranteed is a pretty shameful option.
Southington would have been justified in proceeding via eminent domain to acquire property to provide a route for a long-needed sewer to end discharges of raw sewage into the Quinnipiac. Residents have a right to be somewhat irritated that the process has dragged on so long when such a situation is exactly what eminent domain is intended for: a fair price for a necessary public purpose.
