i f \ me tl Ht Nr oH A EE 14 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, August 28, 1990 Candidates explain the issues to small, interested gathering From Page 5 Gord Mills, who calls himself a people person, is the candi- date for the New Democratic Party, "This election is about choos- ing sides because that's what elections are about," Mr. Mills said. He then blasted the Peterson government over the issues of the environment, taxes and his past promises. "The garbage crisis continues with no new rules on packaging "ig recycling," Mr. Mills stat- ed. He said the Liberal's stance on taxation is to "tax ¢he little people, then you tax them again and then you tax them again." "For every $3 in taxes collect- ed from ordinary people, $1 is collected from corporations," Mr. Mills said. He also said Premier Peter- son promised to lower auto in- surance premiums three days before the 1987 election. "David Peterson lied to the people of Ontario about auto in- surance." The Premier also backed down from enforcing six condi- tions the province was prom- ised in the Free Trade agree- ment, he said. "The NDP think it is time to return the agenda back to the people of this province," Mr. Mills said. Liberal candidate Marilyn Pearce defended the Grits taxa- tion policy. She agreed Bob Nixon's taxa- tion policy is tough but said the "pay as you go" approach is nec- essary to keep services updated Scarborough youth killed when pick-up truck flips A 15-year-old driver of a sto- len pick-up truck was killed early Thursday morning on Brock Road in Pickering during a police chase.

"We are a generation of mort- gages, credit cards and student loans. Why continue to mort- gage our future?" She said she will continue to push for environmental issues and told the gathering that the Liberal government had made advancementsin this area. "In five years we have been trying to make up for a genera- tion of abuse," she said. She said that while out can- vassing for the seat, one of the most often asked questions is what her stand is on the envi- ronment, yet the person posing the question is watering their lawnat2 p.m. Mrs. Pearce said she would fight for better transportation links to Toronto, including a GO Train service to Peterbo- rough. Progressive ~~ Conservative candidate Kirk Kemp said On- tario residents have been "taxed to death and are not go- ing to take it anymore." He said the Peterson govern- ment was wasting $40-million by calling the election two years beforeit was mandatory. Those tax dollars could be better used to improve the health system, implement blue boxes in rural area and go to- ward educational endeavors. At present, he said, the major portion of the local tax bill goes to the education of children be- cause the province has cut spendingin this area. Transportation was another concern he addressed, saying more options must be given for people traveling in the prov- ince. "We must stop the inevitable loss of life occurring on the over- crowded Highway 401." Joseph, 5, and Emma, 3, Kozlinsky, of Port Perry model some of the fashions that wlll be a part of the Port Perry Christian Women's Club fashion show. The Fashion Show will take place at the Masonic Hall, on Thursday, September 6, at 7:30 p.m. The clothing for the show is from Ribbons and Rascals in Oshawa.
