ar Saturday May 14 1977 serving barrio and simcoe county Published by Canadian Newspapers Company Limited l6 Bayfield Street Barrie Ontario Elia Agosilnlpublisher NEWSROOM 7266537 CIRCULATION 7266539 ADVERTISING 7266537 CLASSIFIEDS 7282 Taxpayers plight of prime concern Ordinary taxpayers can hardly be blamed forfeeling concern about the growing pressures in Ottawa aimed at phasing out price and wage controls While there has been jsutification for some of the criticism directed at the way it has been carried out at times overall the wage and price controls have helped to curb inflation for people who need help the most The Greater Barrie of Commerce is among many con cerned organizations which have been tryingto convince the government of the need for realistic action to bring about genuine restrant in tax spending Certainly the great majority of Canadians who have to meet the steadily increasing tax burdens should agree As pointed out by Martin OConnellLiberal MP for Scarborough East former minister of labor and more recently principal secretary to Prime Minister Trudeau the views of ordinary people should be coir sidered as well as business and labor union leaders Different economists have stressed the heavy in creases in government budgets provincial as well as federal have played major role in the continuing lllllil tionary trend Federal government spending of the estimated record high $451 billion for the current fiscal year may have been called belttightening since the increase is only seven per cent but it is not ending deficit financnig One of the most effective ways of curbing inflation would be for all levels of government to cut down on non essential tax spending Deficit financing piling up public debt and wasteful spending are not going to solve longterm economic pro blems Hit the roof Dear Sir Yes the employees at the county building can work in peace these days No more drips and buckets and falling ceil ing tile The taxpayers are 356000 poorer and the architects who goofed so badly got off scot free Hows that for justice Oh well no tse crying over spilled milk The time for action was year ago but the taxpayers sat back groaned and did nothing about it What could they have done Plenty year ago Nothing now When the problem of the leaking roof became public knowledge year ago newspapers carried pictures and pertinent in formation informing the taxpayers that the county fathers did indeed have problem on their hantb That was the time for each and every tax payer to get in touch with hlS or her representative on county council and voici personally or in writing his opinion of HMS atrocious situation Maybe it shouldnt have been necessary say most people After all the councy counv cillors are our elected reprisentativts and should have known how to handle it but apparently they didnt Perhaps if the taxpayers had pushed them it could have been different story Maybe just maybe they would have paid attention to legal advice acted faster tinstcad of holding five meetings to decide what to do fine might have done and solved the problem before the guarantee was off After all the roof guarantee had expired But then the more meetings they attend the more money thcy get each month After all it only taxpayers money And soil the same old story Sad but true We watch our tax dollars being frittcrod away while we ll back and
