It is a positive result that the group home for girls on Thunderbird Drive, Southington, has managed to blend in reasonably well in the neighborhood. It is not positive that Rep. Sampson is introducing legislation to require hearings on locations for such homes, because that would result, essentially, in no homes being constructed.
It is ridiculous for Connecticut to be hanging on to the prohibition on Sunday sales of alcohol. If the change means trouble for mom-and-pop stores, which we have no reason to doubt, how about combining the repeal of the blue laws with some sort of compensatory benefit for those in harm’s way?
It is noted that counsel for defendants in the Cheshire home invasion case have filed a number of motions challenging, among other things, the impartiality of the judge and the venue of the trial. While this sort of thing tries everyone’s patience, we remind ourselves that in the United States, everyone, even people who seem obviously culpable on the evidence available to everyone, still are entitled to have the facts and the evidence tested by every tool that the law can devise.
Good thoughts for the Dainty Rubbish Service workers who spotted a kitten in the garbage compactor while on a run in Middletown this week. The lucky kitten is recuperating at the Meriden Humane Society.
