The Editor's Notepod, Tues. July 13, 2010

Wallingford: The PZC was right to turn down requests to change the rules and allow different kinds of business in the Interchange Zone. If affordable housing is the only remaining option and if it can overcome any issues regarding water and sewer extensions and watershed issues, what’s wrong with that?

Southington: Labor contracts approved by council. It will be interesting to learn the terms approved.

Cheshire: teachers, politicians and residents can hash out the effects of the staff and materials reductions over the next few months. The trouble is that immediate changes are hard to perceive and long term changes happen after everyone’s forgotten what the fuss was about.

Cheshire’s Chamber of Commerce has drafted a letter which it hopes other chambers will sign, urging a reform of the way Connecticut budgets, as well as conceding that a budget solution must include both increase in revenue through taxes or other means and spending cuts. Making a strategic plan is a sensible idea for business entities but a political nightmare for government.
