remarkable progress in catching up with much that they have
been denied in the past. Thank you.
THE CHAIRMAN: Any other Delegate desire to speak
in opposition?
Delegate Wiedemeyer?
DELEGATE WIEDEMEYER: Mr. President and Members
of the Convention, I am sorry that I cannot share the opti-
mism that my fellow Delegates from 6-C in Anne Arundel shares
Whenever a compromise is made, somebody gets some benefit on
both sides, and this looks to me like one side is getting
all the benefit and the other side is getting royally skinned
As I see it here, and I suggest it to the good
Chairman, that we should change the name of Comptroller in
this Amendment to Paymaster, because if you look at this,
what duties does he have except to pay out checks? What
duty is there in there? Now, if there is another Amendment
to put him on the Board of Public Works, that doesn't appease
me either because the purpose in having a Comptroller on the
Board of Public Works was an elected official who had to
collect the taxes and he had to deal with the public. He
had to listen to their gripes, and it was for that reason
