Statement Read from the Bench on December 21, 2001, by Chief Justice William J. Sullivan Re: Reapportionment

At this time, all seven Justices would like to commend the Reapportionment Commission for its diligence and hard work in resolving a very difficult issue in a very professional manner. And as it should be, the beneficiaries of your hard work will be the people of Connecticut.

This now concludes this matter, since the Reapportionment Commission has finished its duties under the Constitution and has filed its reapportionment report with the Secretary of State's Office.
