We'd be junior partrn Right now Milton Mayor Gord Krantz is supporting tl Toronto Services Board (GTSB) because he tbinks it wi for development in Milton. And, he is quick to point out, Halton Region bas beet but effective wben it cornes to moving forward the p agenda Mr. Krantz favours. StilI, Mr. Kranîz sbould keep a long-term perspective many years to corne, no matter wbat growth benefi obtains, this community wiIl be a small voice in GTSB de Meanwhile, the chorus from Toronto will wail away, c this, tbat and the other thing from the supposedly more afi urbs. The pleas may include tax money, landfill space ai scbemes aimed at bailing out unwieldy Toronto infrast capital projeets. Make no mistake, the GTSB will become a new level pal governiment, GTSB czar Mult Farrow bas already ai mucb. For in truth, what does municipal government do foi part beyond provide services that will faîl under the umbt GTSB? Where the GTSB gains power, others will lose. So wbile in the short term the GTSB may prove Milton than Halton Region ever was, if Mr. Krantz is n supersedes Halton - in the long run Milton may not hi gets served up as a junior partner in the business. It gives us some paus We're prepared to give Dusty Papke, the new director tion for the Halton public school board, the benefit of the the first major decision to come out of bis office seems we say, odd. Contradicting recommendations contained in the boar vaunted Renewal Project, and seemingly ignoring the facî is still millions of dollars over budget, Mr. Papke bas increase the complemnent of superintendents. He claims the new superintendents are needed. Ac( Ministry of Education guidelines of one superintendent 5,000 students, Halton sbould bave eigbî or nine supers, may well be so. But the fact remains, tbe board is short $5.5 million dc 1997 budget. And, altbougb the cost of the new super migbt be mucb less than that, bow is the board now su approacb the secondary teacbers and ask for the bugec( tbey need? Again, giving Mr. Papke tbe benefit of tbe doubt, lei superintendents are needed. StilI, is this the message wants to be sending to tbose tbey still are negotiating witb, especially the secondary teachers? How, in good ci can negotiators for the board go t0 the bargaining table an concessions wben tbey, tbemselves, baven't been tigbte belts?
