Attorney General George Jepsen, acting for the Reapportionment Commission, today asked the state Supreme Court to extend the panel’s deadline to give time for Democratic and Republican leaders to negotiate a new congressional map. In documents sent to reporters, the AG’s office included the copy of the December 21, 2001 court ruling that extended the deadline of 10 years ago. “Attached is our petition and the order of the court approving the extension,” said the email from Jepsen’s office, indicating that the old court order was a new one.
