The Editor's Notepod, Wed., July 14, 2010

Meriden is applying to be reimbursed for the services of Officer David Buck, a National Guardsman called up to help with the BP oil spill. Sounds like a plan.

Wallingford: The Lyman Hall athletic director has resigned so she can continue teaching after the job has been changed to administration only. There’s also a five-year program for strategic planning getting under way. One can wonder how much room to push the Wallingford system remains.

Meriden: a contest to rename the Hub wouldn’t hurt and it would be a fun civic activity. Timing is a consideration, but, of course, it could always be renamed if need be.

State: you win some and lose some in the courts. On appeal, Connecticut campaign law overturned lower court decision on minor party thresholds (saying they could be higher) but struck down a portion restricting lobbyist contributions.

Southington: so the 2 percent raises on union contracts are approved. Comparisons with Wallingford’s stance are tempting.

Southington: well if the special tax district is not working for the Greenfields, perhaps a Brownfields grant would help. We can hope so.
