p2 tribune september 4 1990 llution top local concerns from page 1 jack hauseman of holland land ing is the durhamyork riding pc association president he is confi dent residents in the riding no longer trust the record of liberal govern- ment enough to vote them again pointing out that the riding has been a tory stronghold for years mr hauseman says he can win it back according to mr hauseman the lsrca study on lake simcoe was completed in 1985 and it has taken the liberals five years and an elec tion call to put funding into the strat egy the study also asked that 10 million over a 10year period was needed to do an adequate clean up on lake simcoe why do half a job he asks similarly mr hauseman says the liberals have given partial funding for clean up in musselman lake it ms 11 li is

third of the recommended 9 million needed to solve pollution problems there where is whitchurchstouffville going to come up with the rest of the money he asks mr hauseman believes what is needed is a strategy for managing development on the oak ridges moraine to protect all the kettle lakes not just one the govern ment should declare a provincial rights interest on the moraine lands and put a freeze on development through rigid criteria in place for two years he suggests until long- term strategy can be devised the water table around the greater metro area would be adversely affected if the proposed develop ment of 18000 new homes on the moraine was allowed as areas in the riding continue to grow in population provincial money to go toward building new roads must be in place although he agrees with the intention of bill 170 mr hauseman says itis just pay ing lip service to the gravel pit issue revenues collected from bill will be nowhere near the amount of money local municipalities need to upgrade and build road he adds the increases in taxes which have been featured prominently inpc leader mike harris campaign are also a big complaint of the people in theriding says mr hauseman people are saying there mad at high taxes and mad at paying money for an unnecessary election they are asking me to tell them where all this extra tax money has been going it sure isnt going to education or increasedhospital beds during the 1985 election the lib erals promised to open 4000 new hospital beds and instead have closed half the existing ones elabo rates mr hauseman

sunday septemberi 6 tournament rounds per cent under the liberals he points out an issue also being raised by resi dents in the riding is the liberal stand on official bilingualism in ontario they are certainly telling me they dont want that kind of leg islated bilingualism in this province what we need is some common sense with this issue says mr hauseman his approach compares running the province with running a house hold you dont have enough money to fix the roof get new windows and replace the furnace so what you do is prioritize the needs because you cant afford to do them all at once says mr hauseman like his pc opponent ndp can didate larry oconnor of sunder land says the 5 million for lake simcoe management strategy is simply not enough keswick and sutton residents he has spoken with say it is too little and possibly too late many wont let their children swim inthe lake ontario needs longterm environ mental programs and must get tough with corporate polluters he feels controlling development along lake simcoe along with adequate funding for a massive clean up and restocking should be the route taken by the provincial government similarly the environmentally sensitive lands and lakes including musselman lake along the oak ridges moraine should be protected from development on taxes mr oconnor says it is the large companies with close con nections to the liberal party that are getting away with paying no tax in the province people are questioning why tridel a development compa ny linked with the patti starr fundraising affair have paid no provinciat income tax in last three years mr oconnor says two areasin the riding uxbridge and georgina are desperately in need of a new public school but neither township was allocated funding his party would bring education spending back over 60 per cent and take the- burden off the tax payer who pay increasing property taxes to fund education says mr oconnor present legislation mandating devel opers to build necessary infrastruc ture and schools in growing com munities hasnt materialized so far hesays funding for education and health programs has dropped substantially at the hands of the liberals yes they managed to balance the budget but at what cost to the residents of ontario asks mr oconnor meanwhile the family coalition party is offering voters a well- rounded platform says candidate jerry young originally founded as a reaction to the lack of political candidates with a prolife stance in 1987 the family coalition party fcp is ready for this election he says the stouffville area businessman says his party would not provide bandaid solutions to environmen tal problems like the present gov ernment is doing our party firmly believes that the survival of the fam- ily unit is intertwined with many broader issues including preserving out environment he feels both the pollution prob lems in lake simcoe and mussel man lake are similar because they are a result of over development in the area we would put forth longterm lowinterest loans for people to upgrade their septic systems as well as providing money for immediate clean up says mr young while he is not familiar enough with bill 170 to comment on the particulars mr young does say it is crucial to encourage free enterprise while at the same time ensuring that an ecological balance is protected getting education funding back to 60 per cent as well as a return to the three rs in school curriculums is vital if ontario is going to main tain its high education standards says mr young rolling back the interest rate to 7 per cent has been a part of fcp plat form for some time says mr young i think its great that theve stolen our ideas he laughs one issue mr young feels has been ingnored in this campaign is day care and tax incentives for par ents who choose to stay home with their children our whole system conspires against stayathome parents he says the fcp proposes tax benefits for families with only one parent in the
