WEST HAVEN, CT — (Pictured): Mayor Dorinda Borer opens the front door to City Hall on Main Street for fellow Westies Dalky Morfe and her daughter, Mia, 3, on Monday morning.

Less than 24 hours earlier, Borer was administered the oath of office by state Attorney General William Tong as West Haven’s 13th and second female mayor during the inauguration of elected city officials in the West Haven High School auditorium.

Borer, who was elected for change, opened City Hall’s front and side entrances to the public for the first time since March 2020, when the entrances other than the Savin Avenue entrance were closed because of the coronavirus pandemic.
