He found both an ally and an opponent among his fellow Burlington representatives. In supporting Mulkewich, Bob Wood warned of a "hidden agenda" to dismantle social programs. But Doug Greenaway charâ€" acterized funding some social services as contributing taxpayers‘ money to charity without their consent. By ROB KELLY Special to the Beaver Burlington Mayor Walter Mulkewich blasted proâ€" posed social service and business development spendâ€" ing rollbacks at Halton regional council Wednesday, saying other areas should instead be targeted for the cuts. Don‘t cut social service funding Burlington mayor urges Region Regional council isn‘t scheduled to approve the A 48L @48 044444 444 OO OOb 4 44 #1 547 TRAFALGAR ROAD AT THE Q.E.W., OAKVILLE However, Mulkewich doesn‘t want any money siphoned away from the grant program. Halton‘s budget review committee, which will evaluate the health and social services committee recommendations, must "go back to (regional) staff and say, ‘where are you going to find the money to put the whole $152,400 back in,‘ " he insisted. "We‘re going to have to get our priorities straight," Mulkewich said. "To take what amounts to a broadâ€" axed approach is not really helpful to anyone." "The worst two budgets to cut are business developâ€" ment and social services," Mulkewich warned. The regional business development office is attempting to nurse an economic renewal by luring new employers to Halton, yet is faced with a proposed 14% decrease from its 1992 approved budget of $673,400, he pointed out. 1993 budget until midâ€"February, and only preliminary meetings regarding difficult financing choices have taken place. But at one of the earliest sessions, the health and social serâ€" vices committee recommended slashing $150,400 in regional grants to eight community service agencies; the rationale being that they are large enough to weather the funding loss. In a followâ€"up meeting Tuesday, the committee revised its stance, instead halving the proposed cutback to $75,200 and spreading it out among 11 of the 43 outside agencies Halton supports to some degree. "I have some serious concerns about some of these cuts," said Oakville councillor Stephen Sparling. He suggested instead that councillors look at taking the money out of the roads and utilities budget. "One of the decisions I have made is that perhaps the spending of tax dollars for charity, and this is what we are talking about, is a fundamental disagreement with my philosophy," councillor Greenaway said.
