By Jean Falbo-SosnovichRegister Correspondent
SEYMOUR — Town police say they are cooperating with an investigation led by state police after an attempted weekend traffic stop ended in a car accident that claimed the life of a popular Oxford teenager and injured two others.
“We are cooperating with the state police at this time,” Lt. Paul Satkowski said Monday. “State police have opened an investigation, but it’s too early for me to say anything definitive now.”
Brandon Giordano, 15, of Christian Street, Oxford, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash that occurred just before midnight Friday.
He was a sophomore at Oxford High School, where he wore the No. 69 football jersey as a lineman for the Oxford Wolverines.

NEW HAVEN — For an Irish-American who grew up watching cowboy shows on TV, it was a rare opportunity to ride on a Wells Fargo stagecoach in the St. Patrick’s Day parade Sunday.
My seat in “the box,” about 10 feet above the ground, provided an ideal vantage point, during the nearly two-hour ride, to watch the crowd: families with portable tables having a picnic; green Mohawk haircuts; folks on blankets.

Ansonia aldermen could have last word on budget
By Jean Falbo-Sosnovich
Register Correspondent
ANSONIA — Alderman John Marini thinks it’s time for the aldermen and taxpayers to have more voice in the budget process.
A resolution that alters the way in which the budget is adopted will be present by Marini at a 7 p.m. Tuesday Board of Aldermen meeting in City Hall.
The Board of Apportionment and Taxation has the final say on the budget. The aldermen propose and approve a budget each February, but it’s the tax board that decides the budget each May.
Marini believes the aldermen, who are elected, rather than the tax board, which is appointed, need more participation.
