Wallingford Housing Authority has hired a management firm to run its apartments for low income residents. While one can easily see the attraction of such a plan in light of recent experience, it doesn’t sit very well to make such a decision without notice and debate.
The warm weather, relatively speaking, is producing a curious February after an interesting January, almost without snow. What seems to be bad for skaters, especially at the portable skating rink in downtown Meriden is producing fun for city golfers.
Yet another hospital pairing is taking shape, this one between Backus Hospital in Norwich, and Hartford HeathCare, parent of Hartford Hospital, MidState in Meriden and several others. The increasing size of our health care providers – the other large player is Yale and its affiliates – should at least be cause for debate, just as we should be debating whether the merger of CL&P parent NU and the Boston utility is a good idea.
Governor Malloy’s plan to create a school board which will run Connecticut’s vo-tech schools sounds like a good plan. We’ll see how it fares with solons.
FEMA has awarded a grant to Meriden’s Fire Department for half the cost ($600,000) of a new ladder truck. This will replace a 24-year-old truck and will continue the city’s good record of winning grants for important fire equipment.
