The Editor's Notepod, Tues., July 5, 2011

We suppose it makes sense that Connecticut has just passed a law restricting the use of credit checks in employment application situations, at least where it is not directly relevant. But it might make more sense to inquire why so many employers think that credit is relevant when hiring employees who do not handle money or are not in situations which might require credit-worthiness – if there is any reason beyond, heretofore, having been able to use it as a handy tool to winnow.

Did the Wallingford Housing Authority adopt a budget too quickly? Depends on who you ask, with one member thinking it was hastily done, but with the agency under the gun with an extension on filing its budget with CHFA about to expire.
