Connecticut officials, and folks in other states, are examining laws to see what reporting rules are so that situations such as that Joe Paterno scandal in Pennsylvania could be avoided or averted. We’ll probably pass another set of laws making rules more specific and carrying greater penalties, but the real question is whether we can be trained to see what goes on in front of us and to feel a need to stop it.
Anthem Blue Cross has moved part of its operations into the Wallingford Campus at Greenhill on Leigus Road, bringing this large structure into operation. A building with many green features, it should be a showcase for ecologically sensitive processes.
A tip of the hat goes to Tom Bruenn, former teacher and now former Meriden school board member, and also former Guest Member of the Record-Journal Editorial Board. He has served his community with zeal and skill for many years.
Wallingford teachers, school board and council have reached a formula for a new three-year contract avoiding arbitration and lots of other expenses. This seems like a favorable deal all around.
If there is a serious issue with the condition of sidewalks at a Riverside Drive condominium complex in Southington, it should be fixed, especially if residents are intended to be over 55. Saying that it is a “civil” matter isn’t really an answer, since that involves considerable expense of hiring attorneys and filing lawsuits with procedural pitfalls along the way.
Brush collection continues in Meriden, Wallingford, Southington and Cheshire, as crews work steadily to collect a mountain of debris from that October snowstorm. Patience is necessary, as weeks will probably go by before this task can be completed.
Superior Court Judge Mark T. Gould gave some sentences to Lyman Hall students in Wallingford on how he regards his courtroom from the bench. It was a learning experience for some of his listeners who could have had ideas of the judiciary shaped by Judge Judy and her TV colleagues.
