Republican Councilman Steven J. Johnstone, who represents West Shore’s 10th District, is coping with a medical issue and has temporarily suspended his City Council duties.
Johnstone, the council’s minority leader, has requested until further notice that constituents direct all 10th District matters to council members Meli Garthwait (R-at large), and Brian Laucks (D-at large).
Garthwait can be contacted at mgarthwait@westhaven-ct.gov and Laucks at blaucks@westhaven-ct.gov.
“The city of West Haven wishes Councilman Johnstone well in his recovery,” Mayor Dorinda Borer said. “We will all pitch in and cover his responsibilities so that our constituents are served and Councilman Johnstone can take the time to recover.”
