With FEMA eligibility declared by the federal government, some of those folks in Meriden, Wallingford, Southington and Cheshire who suffered losses during Irene will be considering filing claims.
Meriden has a grant to provide healthy snacks at four of the eight elementary schools (those where 50 percent qualify for the reduced-price or free lunch program). Last year, at one school where such treats as apple slices and broccoli florets were served, the program did well.
Wallingford will force a Town Council vote on the parking lot, now that the petition drive has collected ten percent of the registered voters’ signatures. It remains to be seen if the council will reverse its decision on the parking lot behind Simpson Court and avoid a referendum.
Gov. Malloy has revealed that Connecticut can save $135 million by eliminating vacant positions. Well, that’s part way to $700 million; we’ll wait for the other shoe to drop.
The combined Southington-Plainville Health District will see some higher fees, most of which people may dislike, but which tend to bring the district into a cost position comparable to other towns in the area.
Walliingford’s first ever tenant housing authority commissioner will be elected on Thursday, with polling at each authority property. There are two candidates, Tom Zappala and Patricia Hogan, both with significant presence in the community, so it should be a good race.
