| Description | "This is a momentous occasion," Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. said at the beginning of yesterday's Board of Public Works meeting, grinning at the cameras as an aide brought forward a coconut-frosted confection. "It is the 1,000th free cake Governor Schaefer has gotten out of the Government House kitchen."
It was momentous for more than that: The session was presumably the last Board of Public Works meeting for Comptroller William Donald Schaefer, whose September primary loss appears to have closed a half-century of public service. It was also the last meeting for Ehrlich, who has worked diligently to keep Schaefer as an ally, frequently by using cakes to soothe the irascible comptroller.
But, as has almost always been the case at the public works panel, this was Schaefer's show.
"I leave public life now after 50 years, and I don't leave happy," Schaefer said. "I leave sad, because I wish I could do it all over again." |
