The Editor's Notepod, Sun., Apr. 3, 2011

Choate Rosemary Hall’s environmental center was begun on Friday, with a ground-breaking ceremony in Wallingford. The building will set a number of firsts and become, it’s hoped, a showplace for sustainability.

Meriden will hire “at-risk” construction managers to run the Platt and Maloney rebuilding projects. According to those who have studied various models for projects, this should work better than most others, which we all hope will prove to be the case.

The complaint by and involving Meriden police officers. We hope the issues are cleared up promptly and thoroughly.

We hope Southington’s Town Council decides not to go with notices, however discreet, along the linear trail informing walkers or riders about available businesses. Advertising is still advertising, and folks don’t go to the park in order to read pitches by people selling things—however worthy.

Yet another item which is slated for cutting in the governor’s budget is the inter-library loan system funding – which is, essentially, a contractor who drives the borrowed books from one library to another. Would patrons be willing to pay fees for this service?
