Governor Malloy is on the money about Connecticut's education grant. Any change makes some towns winners and some losers.

Enough Union bashing. The fact that Connecticut's union stewards can conclude some business while on the job is only mildly upsetting, since there is very little doubt that managers certainly prepare resumes and seek out new employment while working and that a good many legislators have to attend to their non-legislative businesses while “on the public’s time” in Hartford. No one works 24/7.

Meriden’s council has approved the city’s acceptance of a grant to foster planning around the rail station and to acquire property. This is motion in the right direction.

We are glad that Governor Malloy has come down in favor of both Connecticut mass transit plans, the new Britain to Hartford bus way and a Waterbury to Bristol railway. Both are strong steps for transit.
