The Editor's Notepod, Sat., Feb. 19, 2011

A field trip to Italy seems not have been approved by Wallingford school board, and a letter went out to parents making it plain that there would be no liability of the board if anything goes wrong. Since the trip is next week, the letter probably caused a bit of a stir.

Basic to the question of reinstating tolls on Connecticut roads is whether they would impact federal transportation funds, and the rules need to be cleared up, since ending tolls (despite the horrible crash) had some impetus from the rules on federal funding and something to do with the fact that I-95 is no longer called “the Connecticut Turnpike.” Before enacting anything, there’s a basic question.

Proposed cuts to the Community Development Block Grants may trim as much as 7 percent from the block grant. This will force Meriden officials to make sensitive cuts.
