The Editor's Notepod, Tues. Nov. 16, 2010

State: in thinking about the election audit, it would be helpful to remember that it’s only a few years that we’ve had these optical scanning machines where ballots had to be ordered in some quantity. The old voting machines simply went on recording votes mechanically . . . although they could become full.

Connecticut liquor wholesalers have agreed not to ship and deliver caffeinated high-test alcoholic drinks – which have been banned in four other states. Dealers are to be commended for their public-minded decision.

Those beech trees along Broad Street in Meriden, nearly removed several years ago when the corner at Pratt was developed, have proved their usefulness as well as their beauty, stopping a car headed into the ravine after a crash. It’s too bad that these fine trees are diminished in their health, as they should remain with us for many years.
