It’s too bad but probably unavoidable that Meriden will need to bear the expense of an investigation into allegations concerning police brutality and nepotism. A situation such as now confronts us needs to be addressed and will only fester if it is neglected.
Wallingford’s likely budget will cause some cuts in the school system, as about the only way to reduce costs is to reduce teaching staff. The logic of the state laws requiring most recently hired teachers to be first laid off would lead, curiously and taken to the extreme, to one teacher teaching all the students.
Despite efforts to slow down the process, Southington’s Town Council approved the North Center School project 7 to 2, including the $88,000 façade to match the “renaissance” project. It’s time to get on with it and to hope it all works out as planned.
We agree wholeheartedly with Interim Middlesex President Jonathan M. Daube in seeing Meriden as site for growth for his institution. A larger presence of the community college could do much to liven up the city, and it would be great if Meriden could dream of some institutional building along the lines of such colleges elsewhere in Connecticut.
It sounds as if Wallingford’s Flood and Erosion Control Board, which has never held a meeting or taken any action, will consist of the entire council membership. We hope that as the board examines its function it will act with circumspection on whatever it is supposed to do – and that the members can figure it out themselves.
