The Editor's Notepod, Fri., Jan. 7, 2011

It is too bad that the city of Meriden and its teachers could not agree on the switch to a cheaper health insurance provider, because the inevitable result of arbitration is delay and expense.

It was helpful to see the issues concerning Wallingford’s Housing Authority spelled out by Councilor Economopoulos this week. If a hearing at the council level will help to clear the air, then it should certainly happen.

A Meriden contractor is on the Big Apple’s list for snow clearance. It’s a feather in a local cap, we think, and we hope the company turned a nice profit on New York City’s snow.

Superintendent Florio in Cheshire is set to ask for a 5 percent increase in the system’s budget, but the chair of the school board has responded unfavorably, given the economy. But at least the board members will know what a “stay even” budget figure would be.
