This editorial cartoon appeared in the Record Journal on Sunday December 18, 2011.
I have a saying I am fond of “there are only 36 hours in a day to get done what I need to do”; if I could really have that it would be awesome because I could get more done.
Sixty votes in total. This is the sentiment of just those 60 respondents for whatever it is worth.
The majority of the respondents in this poll felt that if Wallingford is going to make any type of investment it should be as close to equal as the property owners
Obviously this is not a full representation of the wishes of the voters.
The referendum, just six days after the municipal election, drew 6,888 voters, with 2,768 in favor of the lease and 4,120 against.
There is no way to say just what the nearly 6,900 voters would want unless you could poll them all.
I do expect this issue to come up again so with that I will be trying to solicit the input of the voters and I will be reaching out to try to do that.
For those that would be willing to proactively reach out to me I can be reached at Jason@Zandri.net or by phone at 860 614 6069

WALLINGFORD — Police are urging residents to lock their car doors in order to avoid becoming victims of theft. Police say car owners reported items missing from their vehicles early Wednesday morning.
Thieves appeared to go from car to car in the downtown area near North Orchard Street, Wallace Row and William Street checking for unlocked doors. When a car was found to be unlocked, the thieves entered to take anything of value, police said.
Police say the thefts remain under investigation.
