them Proposes licencing If Bill Johnson wins the Burlington riding in the June election one of his first acts will be to introduce a private members bill to ban long term landfill sites across Ontario The NDP candidate said the bill would grant landfill sites a five year licence to operate which he feels would give municipalities ample time to convert to resource recovery and reclamation plants If for economic reasons five years t long enough the regional municipalities could apply for an extension but only for one year he ji said Johnson feels this would riS force municipalities to become more involved in establishing recycling and resource recovery centres as well as keeping the existing dumps in better condition Johnson an environ mentalist with a long history of Involvement with resource recovery and dump sites said he doesnt buy statements which say resource recovery is in the experimental stage Johnson claims the current problem with the location of a 200 acre landfill project on Site in Milton is a direct result of Tory mismanage They were the ones who gave us regional government without any plan for police protection fire protection sewage disposal and garbage disposal ho said Johnson added the regional government was instituted to streamline services and cut out he overlapping but it hasnt done either in the north and thats why Miltons got the dump and not the regional headquarters Johnson said We north get all the baddies and they south get all the goodies To remedy the situation Johnson feels a provincial study of the regional government should be made At times in the election his opposing candidates have brought the shadow of social ism out from the closet to scare prospective voters away from voting but this doesn t bother Johnson When people are in trouble they 11 come to any one who can help them and for the most part they come to me he said If I do become part of the provincial government I will continue as 1 have done in the past and will

taken over from the Indians he added What we have now is social capitalism he said We re always told about handouts that the govern ment gives to various segments of the less fortunate in our society Johnson said But have you ever heard of a corporation turning down a handout such as a or a tax writeoff so they can make profits Johnson repudiates a claim by many of his partys oppon ents that an government would create a monster bureaucracy It would be hard to create more of a bureaucracy than we have already he said Both the federal and governments have given tip service to cutting back of
