Attorney General Matt Platkin released the following statement on the death of former Governor Richard J. Codey:
“Governor Codey was one of a kind. He was old school in the best sense. He understood in his core what mattered to everyday people and he was never afraid to stand up on their behalf. No one worked harder for the residents of this state and you always knew where he stood. I learned a lot from him and he certainly made me laugh. I will miss him. My heart goes out to Mary Jo, Kevin, Chris and the extended Codey family — as well all those who worked with him over his half a century in public service. There will never be another one quite like Dick Codey. May he rest in peace.”
