The Editor's Notepod, Wed., Aug. 11, 2010

Meriden: No matter how attractive the Undercliff site is for development, nothing’s going to happen there unless the state wants to dispose of the extra property. The city, which sold the land to the state when it was deemed unneeded many years ago, cannot now avail itself of eminent domain against the sovereign state — unless, of course, the legislative process can be successfully invoked.

Southington: it’s kind of a dilemma how detailed to be in describing wording of proposed charter revisions on the ballot this November. Too much info and there won’t be room and voters will be confused; too little and they’ll have to guess.

Bad news out of the state Bond Commission which was expected to approve bonding for both Factory H demolition in Meriden and funds for the New Haven to Hartford commuter line this week. We hope those who raised annoying but necessary issues will find satisfactory answers to their funding questions.
