aides were planning an elaborate 50th birthday party but he asked them
to stop. He doesn't want to have an elaborate birthday at tax payers
expense. I love my governor. Read what he told City People below:
"By nature I am not a ceremonious person. I don't like all the noise
and partying. When I saw all the plans going on for my 50th, I said
no. If this is my day, then those who really love me should allow me
do it the way I want to. I have told my aides how I feel about this
whole 50th birthday celebration. I asked them if governors in other
countries don't have their birthdays and is it usually in such a loud
way and manner? If I do it my own way it won't cost me that much to
receive my visitors. I funded my 40th birthday when I was Chief of
Staff and it cost me so much. I am not quite sure I can do the same
now. As a Governor, it will cost me more. I am not sure I want to
spend that kind of money on parties. And to tell you the truth, the
idea that probably I will have a birthday at tax payers expense is
something that does not go down well with me, and it's only for 24
hours. So I am going to have a very quiet and simple day with close
friends and family.
