Now this is what I call bipartisanship: Members of the state House of Representatives voted unanimously on Monday to adopt a resolution creating the 10-member bipartisan committee that will decide whether to recommend the impeachment of Gov. John G. Rowland. "We are about to embark on a solemn and unprecedented journey of historic significance," said House Speaker Moira K. Lyons, just before the legislators voted 140-to-0 to create the committee. Eleven members were absent. After the vote, Mr. Rowland released a statement saying he was pleased with the decision. "I have a great deal of respect for the members of the committee and I look forward to a fair inquiry," he said. "I understand how difficult the work will be."
