Flaherty rjected a suggestion that the cuts will be passed on to local taxpayers in the formn of tax hikes or fewer services. "To me, that'. the old fantasy of thero being more than one taxpayer ... there's only one pocket book and one taxpayer." As for Mltchell's argument that the province should back away fromý any cuts until the preniiees goal of a "true partnership" has taken hold, Flaherty saiîd this i8 .already occurring. "As he (Mlitchell) would know on the garbage issue', this is best carried out on the local level," said Flaherty. "We're saying municipalities should deal with their own garbage problems and if it means shipping it to some other municipality, fine, provided it's environmentally sound." Flaherty also. said Ontario's municipal politicians would be wise to follow his governments lead.' "Provincially, we'll cut our ownl spending and also cut taxes," he said.
