Finishing her term in the same way that she started it, Gov. M. Jodi Rell will hold an open house Wednesday to greet the general public at the state Capitol.
Rell is inviting visitors to the Capitol from 12 noon to 2 p.m. so that she can speak with citizens in her final month in office.
"What I will miss most of all, without question, are the good people of Connecticut,'' Rell said in a statement. "They have shared with me their joys and their tears, their hopes and dreams. It has been a humbling experience to be their governor and doing the right thing for our families is what inspired me throughout my time here.''
She continued, "I began my administration in July 2004 with an open house, and it was an opportunity to say 'hello' to hundreds. I look forward to closing out my tenure with one final chance to visit with our citizens and offer my heartfelt farewell and thanks.''
