The Editor's Notepod, Thur., Dec. 8, 2011

Congratulations to new Meriden council leadership. The changing of the guard, as it were, always evokes memories.

Meriden, Wallingford, Southington and Cheshire each cleans up the brush from Storm Alfred in its own way, some working more quickly than others, some spending on overtime. We don’t suppose it matters much, eyesores apart, unless somehow a succeeding storm turns accumulations of brush into a problem.

Winners of the Wallingford Rotary Club’s Four-Way Speech Contest are to be admired for their achievement and coherence. Public speaking is a difficult art to master and these young people are leading the curve.

Connecticut’s state Board of Education is reviewing a report with recommended school reforms submitted by a superintendents’ group. Reactions seem positive, but we will see what’s what when it comes to adopting action plans.

If and when Southington has large amounts of cash sitting idle, there are certainly ways of handling investments so that interest is received upon them. If that’s what the Board of Finance wants, it should certainly happen.
