The Editor's Notepod, Mon., Jan. 9, 2012

There would seem to be no serious question that turning Meriden's downtown Hub into a park permanently is a good plan. If it is something other than the best, then someone should step forward with something to which it could be compared.

That malpractice restriction law passed in Connecticut in 2005 slipped by a lot of people as a way of protecting doctors and hospitals, which seemed to be suffering from high insurance premiums. While the newly required rule that a medical opinion be obtained would seem sensible (who would file a suit without getting an opinion?) it is being used as a barrier to legal redress.
