The Editor's Notepod, Sat., Jan 21, 2012

Mayor Dickinson delivered his state of the town speech (Wallingford) this week, punctuating his approach with his usual aplomb and drama. Despite the economy, Wallingford, he feels, has “a lot to feel good about” though there’s “no time to relax.”

Meriden’s approach to “time-out” rooms seems sane and measured. Under this system we can see how and why it needs to be.

Following rejection by New London voters of a deal to sell part of an adjacent park to the US Coast Guard Academy, the academy is now attracting offers from neighboring towns who would like to offer a new home.

Moody’s has downgraded Connecticut bonds. Nice of them to do so.

This business of “tuition” wars to lure NY state students to Western or other Connecticut college graduate programs seems a really silly policy to embark upon. Ideally, states should come up with agreements so that tuitions are the same and kids don’t need to go shopping for educational “deals.”
