The processes of the Wallingford Housing Authority are set forth for all to see. Our story should make it simpler for folks to follow the action.
No one should permit the actions of an employee at Hartford Hospital (that was, taking home a hard drive with personal – but not medical – information on Meriden patients and then losing the darn thing) to derail the electrification of all medical records. The idea that a transfer of a patient from one doctor to another, from doctor to hospital or vice versa, or from specialist to specialist, must be accompanied by copying and faxing of paper files, is completely absurd, and was delayed, paradoxically, by the passage of HIPPA, originally intended to encourage electronic medical sharing but which got completely distracted by the privacy red herring.
While it makes sense for Wallingford Town Councilor Jerry Farrell not to vote on appointments to the Historic Preservation Trust, particularly if two nominees were known to him from campaign work, it seems a stretch for him never to vote on nominations or for those two individuals to feel obligated to withdraw their nominations to avoid a hassle. It’s not as if service on the HPT is exactly a high paying sinecure.
Cheers to all those fisherfolk up early this last weekend to enjoy the season opener. It wasn’t exactly the most pleasant day to spend a day by a river or pond, but it was opening day of the Connecticut fishing season, and the banks of the Quinnipiac River and Wharton Brook in Meriden and Wallingford were well-stocked with fishers.
