No. 37 (Voice~ of the 'Cdunty Town) Wednesday, September 17, 1975 Des Newman may get post on Cabinet - Bob Nixon Durham West Liberal candidate Des Newman will be given a position on the cabinet if the Liberals win tomorrow's election, according to the party's provincial leader Bob Nixon. Mr. Nixon made the statement in an exclusive interview in the Free Press office on Monday as he and Mr. Newman mainstreeted through Whitby's downtown. Mr. Nixon said "Des Newman answers Bill Davis' question "Who has Nixon got?"." He added that "I have tremendous confidence in him (Mr. Newman)." The provincial leader secs tomorrow's election as a "two-party fight" .between the Liberals and the Conservatives who have ruled the province for 32 years. Mr. Nixon feels that the major issues of the election are fiscal respon- sibilities of the govern- ment, housing and auton- omy for local governi- ments. When asked how he would reduce govern- ment expenditures if his party defeats the Tories, he said that administra- tive costs would be cut by $50 million, the "super ministries" would be abolished and advert- ising would be reduced substantially. Mr. Nixon would repair the housing situa- tion by stopping the pro- vince's land-banking pro- gram and use the money to service privately owned land. He criticized Conserva- tive Premier Bill Davis and his administration for contradicting them- selves on important issues such as regional government which they introduced. Mr. Davis is now saying that the province would not force regional government on areas which do not want it. Other Durham West candidates are new entry Terry Coughlin, Libertar- ian Party; Charles God- frey, New Democratic Party; and Bill Pilkington Progressive Conservatives.
