The Editor's Notepod, Tues., Mar. 29, 2011

There should be some excitement at the Meriden Board of Ethics session tonight as it considers the matter of George McGoldrick. It is good, though, that the city has a full complement of members on this important body.

Residents of Southington’s Stonegate Road are right in keeping town officials’ feet to the embers. Having sewage erupt in your home is not acceptable.

Our hearts go out to Cheshire Town Councilor Anne Giddings who was seriously injured in a motor vehicle accident following a budget workshop last week. We send her wishes for a speedy recovery.

That benefit hockey game between Meriden police and Meriden firefighters, to raise money for Project Graduation, was finally played over last weekend. Ken Robinson, late Record-Journal newsman and hockey coach, would probably have been amused by the fact that due to any number of weather conditions, the game had to be played in Hamden.

The Meriden school system is spending less on texts. That could be fine, if electronic alternatives can take their place, but this is not possible in today’s budget or at today’s prices.
