The Editor's Notepod, Tues., June 7, 2011

Meriden’s City Council spilt in a somewhat predictable way on the vote to authorize and bond for the two high school renovation project at $216.7 million. Some of the naysayers seemed to think the city’s people are against the project, but it depends on who you talk to.

Wallingford’s Town Council has appointed a school building committee to replace 11 school roofs – with one pointed dissent. We hope the project goes smoothly.

Connecticut’s Senate has now passed the “partnership” bill which allows towns and non-profits to join the state’s health care system.

It will be interesting to see what happens to electricity rates after the newly approved overhaul of the regulatory system in Connecticut.

Connecticut will be closing the non-commercial rest stops along interstates, to save 41.3 million a year. This is one of the less-painful ways, we guess, to meet that budget number.

The circus is coming, the circus is coming! That will be to downtown Meriden’s Hub, where it was last year, on July 27, 28 and 29.
