The Editor's Notepod, Thur., Jan. 19, 2012

In Southington, it appears there could be a bitter dispute with a long-serving former town employee over his severance. We are sorry for this state of affairs and wish it were not so.

Residential usage was one area discussed during Wednesday’s meeting on Meriden’s downtown transit district. It’s good to get all the issues out on the table for discussion.

It is good that the Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority will review Northeast Utilities merger with NStar which provides electricity for the Boston area. There ought to be some reason for merger which benefits the consumers and customers of this giant utility rather than merely the shareholders.

Southington school buses may be equipped with cameras to catch motorists who ignore the stop signs, eventually resulting in a ticket. Is disregarding bus signals a sufficient problem to call for treatment of this kind?

Another accident – this time a roll-over of a stone-carrying truck – closed I-91 in Wallingford for 5 hours. These highways continue to be traps for unwary motorists.
