Daffodil Festival Coverage

I thought the Record-Journal and MyRecordJournal staffs did an excellent job covering Meriden's Daffodil Festival. If you have any suggestions about covering next year's festival let me know. I've already asked that we look into doing a video broadcast of the entire festival parade. What do you think?

Self Insurance - Town of Wallingford

Wallingford Mayor Bill Dickinson's announcement that the town would move to a self-insurance system has certainly generated a lot of discussion and debate. I think the move has some merit, but is difficult to judge until we learn more about the risk involved and the possibility of saving money. I also think details on how the plan is administered need to be worked out, including how the town pays Anthem.

Kudos to Councilor Vincent Testa and other citizens for pushing Mayor Dickinson to study self-insurance more seriously.

As some of you may know, I do an internet radio show every Sunday with partner John Sullivan. We spent nearly two hours discussing the topic and were joined by Councilor Testa, former Mayoral Candidate Lucille Trzcinski and citizen activist Bill Comerford. You can hear the show at www.sullivanoneonone.com.
