The Editor's Notepod, Sat., Dec. 10, 2011

Meriden Board of Education member Scott Hozebin wishes to keep a sharp eye ion expenses for the high school renovation projects, and that’s an idea easy to agree with. There will be plenty of work for any group intending or hoping to watch expenditures.

Connecticut’s income tax revenue, thanks to tax increases, has risen significantly. While that means more of us are paying more, at least that tax increase seems to be having the intended revenue-producing result and not something else.

Meriden’s Parks and Recreation and Public Works Departments are readying that portable skating rink for use this winter. All it will take is a few days of sub-freezing weather.

If Paul Daniels, president of National Association of Letter Carriers Local 20, based in Meriden, is correct, current post office woes are due to unreasonable requirements passed in 2006 requiring funding now for retirement health benefits for 75 years. Such a situation could be easily reversed.
