The candidates were al- so asked how they would handle the province's bal- looning debt. Rodgers said that Onta- rio has some of the lowest rates for natural resources in the world, explaining that debt can be paid off by making incremental in- creases on gravel recycling and water-extraction li- censing. Ballantyne said the NDP would make small tax in- creases on average resi- dents, but more on those making over $300,000 a year. The audience clapped. Arnott first warned of Ontario's debt crisis back in 1990, explaining that, since then, the province's debt has risen to approxi- mately $22,000 for each resi- dent. "Future generations will have to pay the bill," he said. "Governments should be running balanced bud- gets in good years." Hurst said the Conser- vatives' selling off of public assets like Highway 407 could have helped keep rev- enue for the province and fixed massive congestion.

Alexandra Heck/Metroland On April 7, residents stopped by the Halton Hills Public Library in Georgetown to see if they could get lucky with a hole in one at the Caddystacks 3 event - and they helped the library raise $1,343. Local families trav- elled trough the library's minigolf course and also had the opportunity to browse through a new fea- ture this year, a toy and book sale. The funds collected from the event, hosted by Friends of the Halton Hills Public Library, will go to- ward the Acton Reading Deck and the community's annual One Book, One Halton Hills program. "I'm overwhelmed with the amount of goods col- lected for our sale - toys and books filled much of the library's upper floor," said Mark Rowe, chair of Friends of the Halton Hills Public Library. "It's al- ways gratifying to see families, kids and people of all ages come out to en- joy a day of minigolf. Those smiles are what keep us going, and we hope Caddystacks contin- ues to be a regular fixture of our year."
