The Editor's Notepod, Tues. Dec. 7, 2010

Meriden: One is concerned that the decision on the animal slaughtering issue may have taken the matter too far and been motivated too much by non-health-related concerns. On the other hand, there should be a clear understanding of just what might be culturally required and what isn’t; there are limits.

Wind power is proving controversial as Prospect considers a plan to build two in that nearby community. In Wyoming there are large fields of wind towers which operate regularly and supply a considerable portion of the state’s electricity, and they look a lot better than, say, any one of Connecticut’s filthy five.

State: no argument with the fact that Connecticut has badly neglected equipment – and many other things – at the vo-tech schools, so that kids graduate learning to use machines which are generations removed from what is actually in use. This is a good place for the state to invest.
