The Editor's Notepod, Fri., Feb. 18, 2011

Meriden, Wallingford, Southington and Cheshire are all going to have to take the next step in water pollution control, which is the removal of phosphorus from the effluent released by each town. This is going to be expensive, and technology must be examined, bid, and added to each town’s system.

Gov. Malloy’s proposals include one to turn Vo-tech schools, including Meriden's Wilcox, over to the towns in which they are located, along with whatever budgetary amounts the state currently allots. It is unclear where this will leave the focus of these schools.

Another Malloy proposal maintains state support for renovation of schools but reduces it for new construction. This is good for Southington and Meriden systems which are both planning renovation.
