THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1996 Teacher blames deferred taxes for half of deficit Continued from page 1 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 50 49 A must for silly-putty users Keep kitchen clean when transferring potted plants 51 Use for ironing ties 52 Make printer's hat 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.

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.
