The Editor's Notepod, Sat., Jan 14, 2012

Meriden’s YMCA has bought Lil’ Rascals Preschool and Day Care Center on Swain Ave. and expanded its operations in this area of endeavor. Here is an interesting development in the delivery of day care, with the Y becoming a licensing agency for multiple sites.

The special master has submitted his plan for redistricting to the Connecticut Supreme Court, which is said to resemble the Democratic plan and shifting no more voters than necessary. “The Republican proposal shifts more population, land and towns than is reasonably necessary to comply with one person one vote,” said Nathaniel Persily, and that seems to sum it up.

Governor Malloy’s decision to endorse seven-day openings of liquor stores in Connecticut is right and proper, given that we live in so determinedly a 24/7 society. Liquor is one of the last holdouts in this state for Sunday closings, and it’s time to end it.

It was really poor procedure for Friendly’s to lay off folks at its Wallingford store via email. Really, the least any firm can do is give those about to be unemployed a little notice and a little face-to-face interaction.
