The Editor's Notepod, Wed., May 25, 2011

The former president of F&S Oil Co. Inc., pled guilty to bank fraud charges, which will give many former customers of his defunct oil company and his biodiesel plant in Cheshire at least as much satisfaction as it gives the bank he defrauded.

Connecticut legislators approved a bill calling on the Connecticut Siting Council to adopt rules for construction of wind power projects. If you’ve had a chance to compare aesthetics of a wind power field with those of a large coal or nuclear power plant, you’ll appreciate why many believe Connecticut to be extremely tardy in moving in this direction.

Meriden will be “on the hook” for the legal fees related to City Councilor George McGoldrick’s defense against an ethics complaint. Don’t blame the lawyer: it’s in the City Code.

Demolition of two unfinished duplex houses along Meriden Avenue in Southington, necessitated by two years exposure to the elements after a developer ran out of cash. Too bad it took so long to bring the matter to a conclusion, as we hate to see work wasted.
