Wallingford voters soundly rejected the parking lot plan. We hope that the results of this rejection will turn out to be as sound as the majority opinion.

MidState Medical Center in Meriden had a good fiscal year with an operating surplus not quite as significant as in the previous year but sound. This is an encouraging report and there’s a vision for the future as well.
Congratulations to Southington WMCA award-winners: Tony Sheffy, the Person of the Year award for his work with the Southington Education Foundation; Rachel Wache, former American Legion Unit 72 Auxiliary president, the Unsung Hero award; Southington’s Townwide Effort to Promote Success, the Reaching Out award.
Connecticut’s official auditors have looked at the Department of Revenue Services and found it wanting, since in several areas, DRS chose to maximize income tax receipts rather than following every return’s errors to their ultimate resolution. Well, that’s what auditors are supposed to do, but auditors frequently see the errors on the ground without quite understanding the conditions.
Connecticut’s Education Commissioner Stefan Pryor visited Thomas Hooker School in Meriden yesterday because it is an award-winning school and because “this school district is creating a model for the rest of the state.” These are very encouraging words!
Wallingford leases farmland it purchased as open spaces to farmers for agricultural use. This seems a strange but entirely benign use of public land in our highly urbanized part of the world.
