NEW HAVEN REGISTER: John Halle pulled off an upset in the 9th Ward when he became the first member of the Green Party to win a seat on the New Haven Board of Aldermen. Halle, 41, will finish the term of Democrat Gerald Garcia, who resigned to take a job in New York . . . "This is a very unusual thing," Halle said, shouting over victory party cheers at his home. "I think it might be an indication of things to come."
