The Editor's Notepod, Tues., Jan. 17, 2012

Blockbuster closings in Southington and Meriden is yet another sign of change in entertainment market as new types of electronic providers take advantage of technology. One thing remains clear: there’s a huge hunger for entertainment of all types.

Meriden Family Zone project, organized and run by Meriden Children First, is helping families in the Roger Sherman school district improving children’s literacy rates, ensuring school readiness, making health care accessible and connecting families. This is a valuable service not only to individual families but also to the community.

Governor Malloy and Secretary of the State Merrill want to make access to ballots easier in Connecticut. This is a voting rights move we appreciate, considering the negative directions some states are taking, and in the absence of voter fraud in this state seems highly justified.

It is good news for Connecticut coffers that revenues at both casinos were up somewhat in December. This reverses a trend downwards which had been noted for some time.

Superintendent Erardi is pleased with progress Southington Schools are making and he has promulgated goals for the year ahead.
