st wbnftfflwffi2h politics no promises from liberals mcleod bruce stapley correspondent ontario liberal leader lyn mcleod berated new demo crat strategies while refusing to commit herself to promises she couldnt keep at the durhamyork liberal associa tions annual meeting at latcham hall last tuesday if there is one lesson the ndp has taught us its that what may seem simple to promise in opposition can become impossible to deliver in government mcleod said the ndp gov ernment under premier bob rae has failed to comprehend the complexities of governing this province and that it is steadily undermining the con fidence of the people with its botching of government affairs since the ndp came to power there has been one incident after another of incompetence and misman agement and these have given the people the sense that their government simply does not have what it takes mcleod said words and music mcleod said while the gov ernment has finally come to understand that a strong economy should be based on a flourishing business sector unfortunately the words and the music do not seem to match with this government she said the ndps insis tence on going ahead with its proposed changes to the ontario labor relations act show the gulf between the ndps words about working with business and the reality of what the legislation will do to the economy mcleod cited the recent ndp budget as another exam ple of the governments failure to get the province back on track she said treasurer floyd laughren chose to fight the l recession rather than to com bat the deficit in his first bud get and that a year later it was clear the recession is winning jobs must be the number one concern of the govern ment she insisted saying the new budget would not create jobs and get the provinces economy moving again it will kill jobs by further damaging business confidence in the governments policies it will kill jobs by adding new taxes it will kill jobs by delaying new investment our economy is on the rocks and the ndp proposes to stay the course funny money mcleod said the budget employs funnymoney accounting devices to try to make the deficit look smaller than it actually is the numbers in this ndp budget are presented so that its impossible to tell what the true state of the provinces finances are farm families people in health care fields university students single mothers owners of floundering busi nesses are all paying the price for the difficult times we are in she said mcleod said she had sent a letter to the provincial auditor asking him to examine the budget to see if it is a fair assessment of the financial situation of the provinces sit uation she said ontarians are des perate for some sense of confi dence about the future other business included

application to reconstruct and enlarge a non conforming use to permit a new detached 1500 squarefoot dwelling the property stretches across nearly 100 feet of land fronting on musselman lake on cedarvale blvd staff reports indicate the development con stitutes an improvement to the neighborhood and should be supported provided two exist ing cottages a garage and bunk house all be demolished

towns building department revenues are actually up by 20000 bennett said he said people instead are renovating rooms and building car ports garages and decks this year large housing starts appear to be down as is commercial and industrial business bennett added but construction is an arbitrary thing and could change direction next week he said bennett added that the towns recent issuance of sewage allot ments will help mckstart the building economy in town its the same situation in most other communities the town wholtfjte2 wf the kettle lake already suffer ing from high nutrient loading cannot take yet another full- time residence around the lake he told council that he will not approve any development around musselman lake with out studies showing grades drainage water and sewage treatment plans and water con servation methods bellerby said all of these planning stipu lations should be paid for by the applicant there is already been a vast increase of sewage around the lake bellerby said however mayor fran sains- bury said the applicant is only enlarging what already exists but bellerby called the plan a heck of an enlargement that should go up subject to con- straints bellerby wants this request to set precedent for all future developments around the lake and for all kettle lakes in gen eral council voted to ask the committee of adjustment to look over the application and gravel fee hike possible from page 1 bury admitted the increased levy would be nice to have because of the economy she echoed browns comments that road iompro- vements and housing
