Meriden’s We The People party faces an organizational challenge as one founding member changes back to a Republican and accepts nomination for mayor. What’s next?
Wallingford is working on a dog ordinance which is now ready for presentation to the Town Council. The goal is to rid public playing fields of dog feces; the method is exclusion of dogs, which is not quite the same thing.
If Pulaski School in Meriden has third grades of 30, 29, 27, and 27 students, respectively, then hiring an additional third-grade teacher is a reasonable idea. Class size is a pretty good determinant of classroom success.
“Under the No Child Left Behind Act, every student in each school district will be required to reach proficiency on standardized tests by 2014.” This quoted line is the standard for No Child Left Behind, and is certainly one of the most unreasonable, not to say unattainable, propositions ever seriously imposed on schools, a point evident in the list of local schools which have issues in Meriden, Wallingford, Southington and Cheshire.
Under new law, pawn shops in Connecticut will be required to track every item handled. Somehow, this has not always been the law, incomprehensible as it may seem.
Transportation officials, state and national, are discussing some sort of infrastructure bank to fund highway projects. Doesn’t sound like it would be of much benefit to taxpayers to have some sort of banking operation added to whatever it costs to construct roads.
Congratulations to former coach Joseph V. Erardi Jr., who is now Southington’s School Superintendent, to be inducted into Connecticut High School Coaches Hall of Fame. He’s being honored for his creation and management of the girls’ soccer program at Manchester High School from 1980 to 1991.
Wallingford Mayor William Dickinson has his own way of campaigning and his own timetable. It seems to have won arguments at various times in the past.
