The hours report/overtime report of a Meriden police officer under investigation reveals some of the hard realities of police work. Perhaps, without the context of a particular investigation, these conditions and some of the union rules which have become associated with them should be examined with some care.
Reminder to Wallingford residents: Be sure to vote in Monday’s referendum on the parking lot issue.
Meriden real estate appraisals are down for many properties, 17 percent on average for residences, in a switch which pushes the burden slightly toward commercial areas. Appraisal numbers, by themselves, mean little until the city’s next mill rate is set.
Kudos to all volunteers and city employees who worked to clear the linear trail in Meriden so that walkers would not need to wait until spring to stroll. This was a well-thought out decision and will be much appreciated.
Use of the QR app for smart phones and of information on local businesses along the linear trail in Southington may emerge as a compromise to advertising on Kiosks to be located along that path. It should be better than the visual pollution which can develop should the Kiosk solution be opened up to commercial messages.
Cheshire’s “Mile of Hope” — from the school to the town green – was celebrated again on Saturday with thousands of luminaries sold as part of a fundraiser throughout the year. Funds received, over $40,000, will be split among Youth and Social Services Department, the Cheshire Community Food Pantry, and the Petit Family Foundation, with another portion going to a scholarship.
