The Editor's Notepod, Thurs., Oct. 7, 2010

Southington: those Stonegate Road residents certainly have a point with their sewers in a mess while a new one – now not dependent on the sports complex – is built. But heavens, the Spring Street line is only a quarter million; surely sewer repairs can be financed as well.

Meriden: what to do with the Coe mansion must certainly be an issue for developers. One hates to subdivide or destroy an 8,000 square foot home with deep historic roots, nor does one want to build all over the lawn which is one of a large home’s distinctions, and yet one must have practicality in mind as well.

Wallingford: perhaps an appearance by housing commissioners or the executive director before the Town Council would be productive, perhaps it would be a donnybrook. If it would shed some light on any substantive dispute, it would be good.

Sell Plum Island at the end of Long Island for some glitzy developer? Preposterous; it should be a public place.
