The Editor's Notepod, Sun., Jan. 8, 2012

Apparently, a good argument for maintaining the postal distribution center in Wallingford open exists. It has to do with a huge volume of advertising items sent out by local companies, which would definitely take longer without that center’s work.

It would seem that the Taser is a vast improvement over shooting someone in an appropriate situation in Meriden or anywhere else. It is naturally going to be an issue to what extent police should use Tasers to obtain compliance rather than in self-defense, and training is certainly good – but there will continue to be some gray areas of usage.

Commissioner of Children and Families Joette Katz seems to be doing her best to solve problems at her agency, but still has a long way to go. One suspects that there is a huge systemic problem as yet unidentified or that people cannot deal with at all; one suspects it has something to do with money Connecticut allocates, too.

Beaton & Corbin site in Southington is being evaluated again for clean-up of its long –standing pollution. This is an example of how long this process can take.
