We're back. It's been a busy month in our family, and time and family, work and Council activities hasn't let me post for a bit. Nevertheless, a few stalwarts have been sending in notes, and I appreciate that. I'll try to post more and respond better in the next few weeks.
The City is picking up some overdue expenses of the Humane Society, which provides the City a needed service in animal control, but has suffered from board turnovers and policies that work against them. How would you improve this situation?
The estimates for the Falcon Field project came in, at $5.6 million. The reaction of the Council was: no way! The Finance Committee, after much study and public input, did agree and recommend to the Council to support up to $2 million to match the State grant. We frankly can't believe the planners didn't pay attention to that limit of $4 million. The Finance Committe will take the matter up this Thursday. This councilor will not be supporting any increase.
The Bicentennial festivities are starting to heat up. I hope all of Meriden partakes in some of the excellent events planned. Let's really be proud of our 200 years and show it at the parade.
What's on your mind about the City?
