Wallingford’s Ordinance Committee is considering adding a provision which would allow local bidders to reduce their bids to match low bidders on local contracts if they were within 5 percent originally. This change would add Wallingford to the list of towns (which includes Southington and Meriden) where this “leg-up for locals” has been allowed.
Gov. Dannel Malloy is going to push forward with completion of CT Route 11 from the middle of Salem on to its original destination, an intersection with I-95 and I-395. Billed as a connection necessary for growth of Southeast Connecticut, we can only hope the estimated $1 billion total cost returns its investment.
Meriden police, carrying out a “Click It or Ticket “campaign this week, are finding that compliance rates for seat belt use in the city is 90.5 percent. A $92 fine is evidently proving an incentive, at least for those drivers and passengers for whom remaining alive is not sufficient reason.
Loss of the Southington Chamber of Commerce as a sponsor of the Italian-American Festival coming up in July. They’ll be missed, for sure, but the festival has plenty of support.
The Meriden Housing Authority is pleased with units of the Chamberlain Heights public housing development which have been finished, 16 of which are now occupied. We hope remaining phases of this renovation project continue on track.
