The Editor's Notepod, Wed., Sept. 15, 2010

Anthem Blue Cross’ move to Wallingford – not to mention the pay-off of the back taxes due on the property to which it is moving, the Campus at Greenhill, the former Mortgage Lender’s HQ which has been left unfinished since the financial crisis began. Not only is this great news for Wallingford but it’s also not so bad for North Haven, where the firm was, since it’s property there is already being incorporated into Quinnipiac University.

Meriden: Evidence that when taxpayers complain about their assessments, the tax department listens. While this is probably truer for some properties than others (vehicles seem to be simpler to negotiate) it’s good to know that there is a response at government.

Cheshire: delay or not, it does seem to make sense to replace the track at the same time an artificial turf playing field is added inside the track. But this is a project on which citizens may well need to show their support.
