Rejection of the Dunkin shop on East Center St. in Wallingford was apparently unexpected, and it is a little surprising considering how many of these outlets there are in our part of Connecticut. Presumably, it’s “back to the drawing board” for would-be developer.
This police controversy in Meriden really needs to be brought to a head and dealt with. Whoever is working on investigations for various parties should all bring all the evidence along and have the matter out. It’s bad for everyone for the affair to drag on.
So Wallingford’s council has managed to sell the old Legion building? Not a bad price, considering the lack of attention the place has had for a decade.
While it’s fine that area scores, especially Meriden's, on CAPT have inched up, and that probably keeps No Child Left Behind happy, what does it mean for individual students? We are happy that superintendents afford these results no more significance than they deserve and we only wish they could collectively afford to allow them only the focus in schools which they merit.
Actually, reducing Connecticut’s prison population isn’t a bad way to save costs in state government. It can be argued that a lot of those in prison are there only for victimless crimes and that the expenditure of money for their care and feeding does nothing to prepare these convicts for subsequent life.
