Apparent success of Connecticut’s Safe Haven law, when a newborn girl was dropped off at MidState Medical Center in Meriden, Monday morning. With the city still remembering a baby boy abandoned 24 years ago early in January to die, this law takes on additional meaning.
A nine percent increase in Wallingford’s education budget seems reasonably unlikely, but one never knows. Superintendent Menzo has done things well during his tenure, and if anyone can convince a town council to open its wallet, it is he.
Further descent of Friendly’s into economic oblivion with the closing of restaurants in Wallingford, Middletown and North Haven, ending a long tradition of familiar foods. Friendly’s will join Howard Johnsons of a former generation, and be in good company.
Southington will be investing its funds with an investment in hopes of increasing yield while the money remains inactive for the town. This bit-by-bit approach seems like the right way to go about accomplishing this.
We are interested and concerned that an alleged “toxic” labor-management relationship at NU/CL&P is in part responsible for how responses lagged in Connecticut during Irene and Alfred. We are more concerned at how such toxicity may be eliminated.
Hunter Ambulance’s move to 1324 East Main for its ambulance storage area has plenty of issues, which developers are working through. Apart from those difficulties, it seems a good move for the Meriden company.
Cytec, as reported by EPA, remains an emitter of a lot of toxic waste. But it needs to be stated that this company, operating in Wallingford since 1941, operates within its permitted boundaries and has greatly reduced emissions over the years, which makes EPA’s release somewhat puzzling.
A dispute in Meriden between Christmas Tree-wielding neighbors over the weekend is one of the stranger arguments we’ve heard of, or at least one of the stranger contexts. We hope to learn more about it as facts develop.
