Premier Dalton McGuinty's appearance to Thunder Bay-Atikokan MPP Bill Mauro's nomination meeting last night drew some protesters.
Sandra Snider of the Ontario Public Service Employees Union says their pickets were a stand against the Province's tax cuts.
"Their tax cuts mean service cuts," says Snider. "You cut revenue you have to cut services somewhere. All we know is that when you take $23-million dollars out of the provincial budget, you have to get revenue from somewhere."
Mauro defends the cuts.
"It's important to remind people that our corporate tax cuts are important now as we come out of the recession to attract business and job growth back to the province," says Mauro. "It's also important to remind people that there is no reduction in services."
Mauro was unopposed in his bid to carry the Liberal banner in the upcoming provincial election.
