The Editor's Notepod, Mon., Dec. 26, 2011

Southington is pursuing a Safe Schools, Healthy Students grant from the federal departments of Education, Health and Human Services and Justice. If obtained, the town could receive $1.5 million for each of 4 years to support resource officers in the high school and to install security cameras.

Weather certainly contributed to local ills during 2011. But, as they say, it could always have been worse.

It is highly unseemly – as well as churlish and childish – for Connecticut legislators to be squabbling over whether to hang a portrait of Gov. Jodi Rell in the State Library and who is to pay for it. But then, there’s precedent: They wanted to hang Rowland rather than his portrait, and Lowell Weicker wasn’t particularly dear to either regular party after his term and it took a while.
