Teacher blames deferred taxes for half of deficit

pyramid have money to spend in
the community."
Trumble, before passing the
microphone made comment n the
Harris government's decision to
repeal Bill 40, the Labour Relations
Act. Claiming the decision will
eliminate democracy in the
workplace, Trumble said it will
empower large corporations to
exploit underpaid workers. He did
not, however, comment on how the
Rae government brought forth Bill
40.
"This is everybody's fight. There
is no sitting on the fence this time,"
Trumble said, calling for total
collective action.
Sherry Rosener, Ontario
Secondary School Teachers
Federation District 44 president,
echoed Trumble's call for unity on
the fight against the Harris agenda.
"This is a time when all of us
need to stick together. We must
stand up for publicly funded, public
services that provide equal access,"
she said. Rosener added she found
it hard to understand how the
layoffs of 20,000 public service
employees will boost the provincial
economy.
"It's time to say, 'It's not just me
I'm worried about, I'm worried
about the community'."
Huron Women Teachers'
Association president Wilhelmina
Laurie said, in terms of what is
happening to education, there is a
great deal of information out there.
"Some of it's true, some of it's
false, some of it's leaked, some of
it's rumour."
Laurie went on, "We need
information to make a decision. A
lot of voters in Ontario didn't have
Goderich
OPP bust
shoplifter
Several incidents were reported
by the Goderich OPP during the
week of Feb. 4 to 10.
In Seaforth, Feb. 10, a young
offender was arrested for shoplift-
ing at Stedmans, and later released
into his mother's custody. The
investigation continues.
Minor damage and two stolen
bottles of whiskey was the result
after two apartments were broken
into at 177 Albert Street, Clinton,
Feb. 6.
A black 1982 Citation Ski-Doo
was stolen from Hwy 4 near Bruce-
field, Feb. 10. The value is set at
$1,200.
Icy roads were the cause of a sin-
gle-vehicle accident of Cty. Rd. 13,
Feb. 7, A blue GMC van, driven by
Virginia Steckle, 3,7 of Stanley
Twp., left the road and suffered
severe damage after striking a tree.
Steckle was taken to Clinton Public
Hospital with minor injuries.
There were a total of 16 motor
vehicle accidents, one with injuries,
14 with property damage and one
non-reportable.
Three 12-hour suspensions were
handed out (one in Clinton) along
with three suspended drivers
receiving notification of disqualifi-
cation (one in Clinton), a driver
being charged with driving under
suspension and 10 Liquor Act
charges (two in Clinton).
that when they made their x's."
Instead of attacking the
government directly, Laurie said
that deferred government taxes to
business are responsible for 50 per
cent of the deficit.
"Social spending is only six per
cent of the total deficit."
In terms of education, the system
is in jeopardy because of the
reduction in transfer payments.
Canada, she said, has the highest
number of school age children in
school globally. Less than 15 per
cent of the employment opportuni-
ties are now classified as unskilled
and the current system is the most
equitable.
"We are not failing in compari-
son to other countries. In fact, what
we have seen is international
testing comparing apples to
oranges."
Laurie told the audience that
there will be a bus from Huron
County travelling to Hamilton this
Saturday for the Day of Protest.
Lynda Rotteau, a Goderich town
councillor and NDP Association
member, said her main area of
concern with the government's
changes is how municipalities will

be affected.
"We're at the end of the taxation
food chain. We're responsible for
the services that you notice. The
people in municipal politics are on
the front lines," she said. Goderich
has recently completed a cost
management study that will save
the town some $290,000 in spite of
the provincial cutbacks, and may
even be able to provide municipal
workers with a raise.
Municipalities face three choices,
Rotteau said, "We can raise taxes,
decrease services or implement
user fees. What you are likely to

see is a combination of all three."
Rotteau said municipalities must
find ways to do business more
efficiently without cutting people.
Goderich had to cope with some
$400,000 in cutbacks from both the
province and the county. Staff in
Goderich found about $170,000 in
savings in return for job security
for full-time workers.
Several other speakers also
shared their viewpoints on the
current situation, most with the
same underlying message: unions
will need to stick together to make
an impact on the Harris agenda.
