The Editor's Notepod, Thur., Mar. 24, 2011

Beyond feeling that almost any change could improve the functioning of Wallingford’s Housing Authority, the idea of an elected tenant representative should or at least could help direct focus toward tenants rather than politics. We hope this bill moves forward again this year in the General Assembly.

Well, now that the Meriden Board of Ethics has been invoked, the issue of Councilor McGoldrick’s status regarding Fletcher Thompson will have an official airing. It cannot hurt to clear the air.

Southington is considering switching street lights to new light emitting diode (LED) devices, which have high initial cost but last way longer and give more light. A good plan, which we trust will be combined with full cut-off fixtures to prevent wastage of light upwards and light-pollution.
