No one’s wasting any time wondering about who will run for Joe Lieberman’s senate seat. Former Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz (of Middletown) and Congressman Chris Murphy (who represents Meriden and Cheshire in Congress) both had hats ready to toss into the ring.
So with the announced “affiliation” of Hartford Health Care and Central Connecticut Health Alliance, a significant portion of the state will be joined under one health care organization, including hospitals in Meriden, Southington, New Britain, Hartford and many related care-givers. This probably has many positive potentials for cost savings and for allocation of resources in creative ways, but it may also have its negative potentials which should not just be overlooked.
Congratulations to Meriden Fire Chief James Trainor and Mayor Mike Rohde, who were taped to the wall at the Pratt Street fire station to honor a promise made contingent upon city employees and firefighters to meet goals for United Way pledges for the coming year. Congratulations to the employees, too, whose generosity has exceeded expectations.
Town Councilors and mayor in Enfield, busily pressing the Public Library to cancel a controversial film on health care by Michael Moore (who seems to be a hot button for some people). The library, threatened with defunding, knuckled under to this flagrant abuse of power by the town against the public interest, which is in robust debate about health care.
