The Editor's Notepod, Sat., Sept. 25, 2010

The friction between Meriden school board and the council could be cleared up with a careful delineation of which body is doing what. It’s one thing to have access to documents, even when they are working drafts and not plans, but it’s quite another to become involved in discussions about transforming the working documents into a plan which will be presented and voted upon.

Meriden police officers are getting active training in emergency situations where it may be necessary to deploy guns. While all hope this will seldom be necessary, the pest way to prepare is through practice.

Route 68 study is on the table with many options running almost from the sublime – new striping for $3,000 – to thorough redevelopment and additional lanes for perhaps $55 million. It’s a smorgasbord from which we hope the State will make reasonable and prudent decisions for the benefit of Wallingford.
