The Editor's Notepod, Sat., Mar. 26, 2011

We hope Connecticut's Governor Malloy doesn’t have to resort to Plan B, whatever it is, and that money can be saved without draconic measures.

More returns from the Trash-to-Energy plant in Wallingford to that town and Meriden, Cheshire and the rest, cash which is somewhat unexpected and can be salted away for future uses. That’s a total of over $45 million the plant has doled out over the last couple of years.

General Assembly’s education committee has voted to put plan over tech schools (included Wilcox Texh in Meriden) on hold for purposes of study. A good decision.

St. Raphael’s and Yale-New Haven hospitals have reached agreement on a letter of intent for the future. This unification move in New Haven reflects trends across the state towards bigger and bigger health care entities, driven by economics.

Southington is planning or hoping to purchase more automated external defibrillators, or AEDs, for schools and other town buildings. It is fair to ask, just so we know, roughly what frequency of use is expected for these life-saving devices.
