The Editor's Notepod, Sun., Feb. 13, 2011

It certainly makes sense that various departments and concerned administrators of Meriden have submitted lists of capital projects which, at some point, they believe should be funded by the city – though the total $144.33 million covering six years is a little daunting. Don’t panic, residents, there will be no more than $4.77 million bonded this year, although the difficult process will be selecting which projects to move forward.

Connecticut State Rep. John Kissel is proposing opening the HOV lanes which were built at huge expense to encourage ridesharing on interstates in and out of Hartford to all traffic. It’s unlikely the change would end gridlock but would rather more likely encourage more people to use the highways.
