The Editor's Notepod, Tues. Nov. 23, 2010

Wallingford: the auditor says it about the housing authority. “The tone starts with the board of directors,” he said. “As soon as that tone stops, you’re vulnerable to things. They should be looking at what their director, Mr. Nere, is doing — not because he’s doing something wrong, but to make sure he’s doing what he’s supposed to.”

Southington: so the finance director takes medical leave and a substitute is paid from overtime accounts as directed. This depletes overtime, however, and when request is made for more cash, it’s turned down all around; this makes very little sense.

In the Meriden schools, it seems that the cheese sandwich ploy has worked, and that kids who were served cheese sandwiches instead of the regular meal have persuaded parents to pay up. Apparently, as far as the kids are concerned, cheese sandwiches are not the lunch of choice.
