The Editor's Notepod, Fri., Dec. 17, 2010

Meriden School board is moving toward requiring recess on a daily basis in al; the elementary schools. It may only be 15 minutes, but it’s time that belongs to the students.
The repair job done on electric lines along Gravel Street in Meriden
may have been designed to demonstrate that public utility projects can be finished within the time period promised. The only problem – a slight one – was that CL&P was too quick and didn’t take as long as they expected.

Meriden City Council’s Economic Development, Housing & Zoning Committee is on a cusp regarding digital billboard approval for city property near I-91. There are a number of the changing signs around Connecticut and if the concern is distraction, they’re way less bothersome than cell phones.

In voting to terminate the term of Cheshire’s town historian every two years when a new council is seated, the majority has shown a scant appreciation of the fact that history lasts for more than two years. There was no need that anyone can see to make such a change without even listening to the current incumbent.
