Cheshire: If the town removes or wipes out its historic area, some property owners will be happy, but the town itself, in five years, will see a difference as people go ahead, as they’ve always done, and made changes not in accord with the “look” of the area. What is needed is a district which protects but does not oppress, and surely that is possible here as it is elsewhere.
Meriden: here’s where the canker gnaws on the “green” cleaner plan. Teachers and students in this lean year have been enlisted to bring in supplies but now they’re to be discouraged, since they probably won’t bring in the varieties recommended by the green plan.
Connecticut’s community college system is under pressure from its long-standing open application process, where everyone is taken. The state’s funding has been level while students have flocked to these schools because their tuition ($3,400 annually) is greatly less than, say, UConn ($10,416), and there are space issues, but state costs are mainly paying teachers. It’s discouraging to see the Commissioner of Education urging the schools to limit applicants.
