East Haven's new state representative for the 99th District is Democrat James Albis. He bested Republican Linda Monaco in Tuesday's special election.

Unofficial count is 1,421-1,329.

"This is a great night for East Haven," Albis said at his headquarters minutes after learning the results. "It truly is."

"James is going to follow Mike Lawlor and fill his shoes," said Democratic Town Committee Chair Gene Ruocco.

Lawlor handed Albis his state license plate. The crowd roared.

Come back in the morning for full story, photos and video.

Richard, the Mayor kicked the CEO of the company that had the contract out of his office less than a…Read More month after he won the election. The contract was with the town not the BOE. And if you think the only thing to check is if the panels are dirty, then it isn't worth answering you. A large investment of tax dollars was made and it is paying off with lower electric bills. The systems delivering these savings need to be checked, that is why people who were smart enough to sign a maintenance agreement did just that. Ask the BOE how the chiller replacement is going at the High School; due to lack of maintenance they lost two chillers that should have lasted at least 10 to 15 more years. Penny wise and dollar foolish is what this is all about, not the election year, but what else could we expect from you Richard. You have become the cheer leader of the administration.

"Nature will reclaim what we took from it in past years." I guess there is one thing we…Read More agree on. And it started to sound good until the "government will make me whole, no matter what...." Political trip-wire. I have always felt no one should be allowed to claim or build on shoreline land within a mile of the water, with the exception of ports, on either coast. If it all were National Park lands... if only that decision was made way back when the land was pure and clean... the present and future wouldn't be as nightmarish as it inevitably will be. Only 50 years ago, when I was a very small child, I remember chasing all kinds of sea creatures (crabs, sea horses, star fish) around Silver Sands beach while my Dad caught a bushel of flounder. Where are they now? Yup, I'm a "Tree-Hugger" and, as outrageous as such a plan would be, I would throw all my energy behind a plan to de-populate the shoreline.
