   New London - William M. Cornish and Charles W. Frink of the upstart One New London party won seats on the City Council here Tuesday, capping a months-long campaign to overturn a Democratic majority that the candidates blamed for escalating property taxes, faltering economic development and the national controversy over seizures of private homes in the Fort Trumbull neighborhood.
   ...
   Cornish, Frink and Democratic newcomer Kevin J. Cavanagh displaced Democrats Bill Morse and Gerard M. Gaynor Jr. and Republican Jason Catala.
   ...
   Surrounded by well-wishers at a victory party at Union Railroad Station, Cornish said One New London's success had its roots in the movement led by the Lower Our Taxes Coalition to challenge the city budget.
   
   Cornish previously served as a Democratic councilor from 1995-97.
   
   Despite the party's connection with resistance to the Fort Trumbull project -- two of the party's five candidates, Michael Cristofaro and Thomas Picinich, lost property via eminent domain for development on the peninsula -- Cornish said the party's appeal was part of a broader vein of dissatisfaction with the city's direction.

   Over at Nathan Hale Elementary School, Cornish watched the arriving voters with a wry smile on his face.
   
   "We got the day, we got the weather," Cornish said.

   "Broadwater is not welcome," said William Cornish, a member of the New London City Council, during a public hearing before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. He was referencing Broadwater Energy LLC, a joint venture between Shell Oil and the TransCanada Corp. that is proposing the terminal.
   
   "It is madness to put our Sound, not Broadwater's Sound, at environmental risk," he said.
