The Editor's Notepod, Thur., Mar. 10, 2011

Dog feces revealed in the melting snow along Southington’s linear trail. That’s an issue at any time, but bringing baggies along for walking the dog should become a habit for regular users of the trail, as it has along Meriden’s gorge trail where very few doggie “gifts” are to be seen now that the snow has melted.

It shouldn’t take an individual case of violence to convince the Connecticut legislature to increase the regularity with which felons, either convicted or suspected, are registered by DNA testing. It’s a logical and forensic no-brainer, although it certainly has a certain cost.

So the polls say Gov. Malloy isn’t particularly making a hit with his proposals? No surprise. We hope he stays his course, as his proposals, on balance, seem as if they may actually help Connecticut's fiscal stability and their burden actually reasonably distributed.
