Southington: the continued funding of buses provided by Calendar House Senior Center for people, elderly or disabled, who need transportation to medical appointments or shopping. While those who happen to live conveniently to shops and offices may be able to use those motorized wheelchairs one sees here and there, anyone more rural needs a larger and faster form of transport.
State: The tax credits being offered small businesses for health care expenses should help. The real issue is the continued insistence that health care coverage is a) an employer’s responsibility, b) a luxury, c) a free enterprise choice.
Cheshire/State: Pratt & Whitney and its multinational partnership, International Aero Engines, logged a combined $1.48 billion in business on the first day of this week’s Farnborough International Air Show in the UK. The news, which seems good, makes one wonder how much business is enough Pratt to keep the company in Connecticut.
Southington and Cheshire will receive grant money from the state Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management if they can purchase and install backup generators for their for their emergency evacuation shelters and operations centers before November 15. Sounds like a doable challenge.
