The Editor's Notepod, Thur., Jan. 5, 2012

Community reaction to the request to use the Lewis mansion on East Main as a mosque is mild and generally favorable. We hope this smoothness continues; it’s good for Meriden.

Meriden-Markham Airport is without a management company after the city terminated its contract with Meriden Aviators that had been inked in June of 2010. It’ll be difficult to find the right mix for running an airport and a business correctly.

Cheshire is expecting to receive the new bubble for the Community Pool which has been shipped from its manufacturer. With good weather conditions (keep your fingers crossed), the construction job could be complete by the end of February.

Connecticut is going to begin serious enforcement of the anti-profiling law. This is something which should have been done years ago.

Perhaps sometime Congress will bury its axes (in something other than in each other) and pass a jobs bill which will help fund school renovations for Meriden’s Casimir Pulaski and so many other schools in need of modernization and serious renovation. It’s scandalous that the process has become so polarized.

Southington schools are getting an anonymous tip line for people in the community to report issues. We hope it works as intended and doesn’t become a sort of while line for angry people.
