The new contract Proton Energy – now Proton OnSite -- has won from the Tank-Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center, or TARDEC. Located in Hawaii, the Wallingford-based company will build a hydrogen refueling station and increase output of future stations.
Southington’s budget process is now complete with a new spending plan and a new revenue plan which calls for only a 1.08 percent increase in taxes. That’s about $52 a year for the average residential taxpayer.
Meriden’s Planning Commission tabled a proposal to amend ridgeline zoning on a 13-acre hill at Sams Road. This is a property already involved in litigation over this particular issue and both the city and Carabetta (Summerhill LLC) submitted maps; the word here is “stay the course.”
The University of Connecticut did itself no favors by nickel-and-diming the Journal-Inquirer when it asked, per Freedom of Information rules, for a list of highly paid UConn employees. It makes news that 919 employees earn over $100,000 a lot harder to defend.
Senator Edith Prague, after consultations with Dr. William Petit of Cheshire, has decided not to support efforts to repeal Connecticut death penalty laws, out of concern for pending cases. This is a good decision, as, apart from any pending cases, Connecticut appears to want capital punishment on the books and to use it sparingly.
