Martin Looney, the longest serving Senate president in Connecticut’s history, announced Saturday that he will not seek reelection to another term in office. “Serving the people of Connecticut in the General Assembly for 46 years has been the great privilege of my public life,” Looney said in a statement. Looney announced his decision to a private meeting of the Senate’s Democratic office on Saturday afternoon, shortly before the chamber convened for a rare weekend session to approve adjustments to the state budget. |

Well then the book should include how Martin misrepresented where he lived. Back when Martin was a State Rep. he maintained a residence in Fair Haven, the district he represented. However he was nestled comfortably in Morris Cove. Transitioning into the Senate alleviated that little problem. Article III, Section 4 of the Connecticut Constitution states: "The house of representatives shall consist of not less than one hundred twenty-five and not more than two hundred twenty-five members, each of whom shall have attained the age of twenty-one years and be an elector residing in the assembly district from which he is elected."[3] |
