Major theme of the elections is that there has not been much change. Certainly there appears to be no ground swell of feeling for something “different” and, while some of one party and some from another party won, such as Scarpati and Shamock in Meriden, such victories are due more to the attractiveness of the candidates than to any party or philosophical appeal.
Voters approved spending money, quite a lot of it, in Southington (for overdue middle school renovations), in Cheshire (for required water pollution updates). In this context, one can surmise that the political point which was made during the campaign in Meriden about not submitting the high school renovation project to a vote probably didn’t attract too many voters.
Yale casts its first mascot in bronze, and bigger than life. One can only hope the university didn’t overspend on this issue.
