April Capone Almon Inaugurated as Mayor of East Haven

Today at noon April Capone Almon was sworn in as Mayor of East Haven. Eleven days after the election and 3 days after being declared the winner, April took the oath of office at the East Haven High School. She gave a passionate inaugural speech emphasizing family and the importance of doing the right thing in an open manner. Take a look at the fine inaugural address for yourself.



Mike Lawlor gave a very fine speech introducing the new Mayor. He told the audience some of the history of East Haven and recognized the former Mayors in attendance, Hank Luzzi and Tony Proto.

WOW! As a republican I am glad I voted for our new mayor. Her acceptance speech is emotional and moving. It is time to get East Haven away from the "no bid contracts for my friends" mentality and back on a fiscally conservative path. As April told me, she plans on running the mayor's car on cooking oil and to never, ever drive the town's car home. Already she is leading by example! Go April!
