Following the ruling by the Meriden Board of Ethics, Councilor George McGoldrick will have to consider the guidelines with care to determine how to shape his relations vis-à-vis employer and public office. It could be a complex path even with the best will, which we are sure McGoldrick possesses.
The loss of a hard drive by a former MidState employer has got to be a nightmare for the Meriden hospital to deal with, though we certainly hope it remains more of an administrative issue than a nightmare involving harm to anyone. After this incident and similar ones at other organizations, companies and government, it would clearly seem that more ways of controlling access to serious data be developed.
Sorry, but a move to “fix” the rules on running for Connecticut’s attorney general to indicate that it is membership in the bar which is required and not trial court litigation, as the state’s Supreme Court interpreted it last year in ending Susan Bysiewicz’s campaign, is closing the barn door after the horses have left.
It’s not a surprise that Meriden turned down a federal grant under the School Improvements Grant program. A plan which requires a school system to fire and rehire no more than half of the teachers, replace the principal and reform the curriculum (to what?) while extending the learning day (which has been done), or converting to a charter school just doesn’t make any sense.
