While state senators have passed a budget, the state representatives have yet to act, as the minority party ran through its own un-passable approach. Everything that moves in Connecticut will wind up being taxed a little more, but the alternative involves shutting down some significant parts of the state.
With the Meriden police union’s chief steward filing a complaint, the whole imbroglio over police conduct and favoritism becomes yet more complex. It’s a very sad business.
It is shocking that it took personal intervention by a US Senator and Connecticut’s Governor to get the attention of the Homeland Security people to halt an absurd deportation. On the other hand, it is positive that intervention still works; if only it worked for everyone.
Wallingford’s Public Works department is coping with a smaller budget and the effects of overtime and snow last winter. One hopes that residents will understand why it could take longer for the plows to come by the house next winter, and similar details in other DPW areas.
It’s good that the Quinnipiac River’s Southington section is clean enough so there’s no need for participation in the Source to Sound clean-up this Saturday. Will the other communities along the rover – Cheshire, Meriden, Wallingford, North Haven – soon catch up to this level?
The plan to design improvements to Meriden's City and Brookside Parks remained on the city’s bonding list this week, and that is a good decision. Money sometimes needs to be invested in amenities.
It is good that MidState is cooperating with the Attorney General in investigation of the data breach earlier this year. But we suspect everyone in Meriden would rest easier if the full details of how and why the hard drive involved was taken and how it disappeared were made known.
