The Editor's Notepod, Wed., June 15, 2011

Southington police are deploying a plate scanner. The kit should be useful, but it could be argued there are more important motor vehicle issues -- such as running red lights and aggressive driving – than pursuing more breeches of registration complexities.

Closure of the Yalesville branch of the Wallingford Public Library is under discussion. We hope this doesn’t happen: the annual cost is very minor and brings pleasure and opportunity to many: leave it open.

Meriden Public Works department is considering the purchase of a flameless pothole Patcher for city streets. The hope is that this machine, rather than the cold patcher which must be used in the winter, will cut down on multiple repairs, particularly re-patching the same holes.

Wallingford Superintendent of Schools Salvatore Menzo has been given high praise by members of the Board of Education. There’s no question of his abilities and hard work, tact and a number of other sterling qualities, especially considering how many changes he has initiated in the system over the course of his early tenure.
