There’s economics in there somewhere that someone is making money.
Wallingford Mayor Dickinson had it right about the latest (this one in Meriden) apparent suicide along the railroad tracks: “I hate to think that someone is in such despair that they feel the need to do that.” There’s not much anyone can do to stop a determined person.
Meriden Police Chief Jeffry Cossette explained the new encryption system, digitally organized, for sending police messages. It’s a big change, but so long as the system remains transparent and available – something we’ll have to see – it should be an improvement.

Legislators are going to tinker with rules regarding electric utilities and imposing penalties for not getting power on quick enough after big storms, which is what consumers surely want.
