Grave concerns about g rants

Councillor Morley Hall agreed
EXETER - Reeve Bill Mickle
told council Monday evening that
the Association of Municipalities
of Ontario (AMO) has grave con-
cerns about the future structure of
grants from the Ontario govern-
ment.
The province is expected to an-
nounce later this month the rates at
which unconditional grants will be
paid to municipalities in 1990.
AMO has heard rumors that the
grants will be at little or no in-
crease over last year's.
Exeter raised concerns last year
over the future of, unconditional
grants when the province did not
allow any increase over 1988
funding levels, leaving municipali-
ties to applyfor conditional grants,
which are controlled by various
Queen's Park ministries.
Mickle wondered where these
trends will leave Ontario munici-
palities, adding that even condi-
tional grants are being reduced.
Mickle also pointed out that an
AMO document suggested OMM-
RI, the non-profit consortium to
promote blue box recycling, was
created and funded by the soft
drink industry to the tune of S20
million because it saved them $60
million in bottle returns.
Mickle said the breweries are in-
terested in reducing their costs by
the same methods by recycling
their containers instead of refilling
them.
The costs of collecting all beer
bottles and cans would be borne
by Exeter's blue box system, not
by thc industry, said Mickle, who
said that AMO's report shows that
the province is neglecting its re-
sponsibility of forcing industry to
make use of recycled materials.
