Court Accepts Conn Reapportionment Plan Reduces House Seats
A three judge federal panel in Hartford accepted Connecticut's legislative realignment plan. The measure cuts the House from 294 to 177 seats and keeps the Senate at 36. The court allowed the November 1966 general election date and retained jurisdiction to handle potential challenges. Governor Dempsey welcomed the ruling and planned sessions with party leaders Bailey and Pinney, aiming for a February state of the state and budget messages.
