“Working very personally with Jodi Rell as state Attorney General over many years, I deeply admired her dedication to seeking bipartisan consensus and putting public interest over politics. She was unceasingly gracious and unequivocally caring in dealing with colleagues. She respected the rule of law— in spirit as well as letter— as I saw first-hand and continually valued. I was constantly grateful to her and her family for their public service, and their friendship. She had a magnificent life, and gave so much to the people of Connecticut. Cynthia and I are with them in our hearts and thoughts.”
