Those with an interest in Branford's shoreline -- from town officials to fishermen who make a living on Long Island Sound -- on Tuesday celebrated a judge's decision that Attorney General Richard Blumenthal a day earlier said "should effectively kill" the proposed Islander East pipeline.

A Superior Court judge has dismissed The Marcus Law Firm's countersuit against the town with regard to the firm's representation of Branford in the Tabor eminent domain case, finding that Marcus filed its claim prematurely, before the issue was "ripe" for judicial review.

It led the legal efforts in the Tabor case during that time.

First Selectman Anthony "Unk" DaRos has extended town Facilities Manager John A. Smith's six-month probationary period for another 30 days. The extension is a sign that Smith, the former Representative Town Meeting majority leader whose controversial hiring by then- First Selectwoman Cheryl Morris touched off a political firestorm and charges of cronyism last June, may be on shaky ground.
