The Editor's Notepod, Mon., Nov. 8, 2010

Wallingford revaluation is nearly ready to be mailed to property owners, and the assessor says because of the up and then down in values since the last reval, the new assessments may not be all that different. Quite possibly, but residents will probably want to wait and see before they stop worrying.

While it was a good thing to have that extra hour of sleep between Saturday and Sunday, we are not at all convinced that Eastern Standard Time is welcome, with its early darkness in the evenings, a true misery for office workers, who see neither morning sun nor evening (supposing its sun, not cloud). But really, it’s the shorter hours of daylight to blame, and we can’t have it both ways.

Proposals to do “something” about the shortage of ballots in Bridgeport and elsewhere have the usual smack of too late smart. At a top price of $1 a ballot (can it possibly be true that municipalities pay that much for copies?) it’s silly not to have a ballot for every potential voter. Now we know.
