Gail, did you even read the article? The whole point is that FLAHERTY is BLAMING Ontario for its financial woes after FLAHERTY left a deficit of $6 Billion and has NEVER taken responsibilty for this action.

District gives more answers on $25.8M proposal
Wellsville Central School District officials heard two years ago about $1 million in EXCEL (Expanding our Children's Education and Learning) Aid from the state and started looking into a capital project proposal. Through a building conditions survey, tours of facilities and many meetings with the Community Advisory Committee and the input of staff, architect and construction manager, the project grew into a $25.8 million proposal. It includes state building aid of 93 percent (for about 95 percent of the project) and the district can use $746,327 in EXCEL Aid. The local share will be about $2,269,509. The average annual tax impact from the 15 years of the project debt retirement on a $40,000 home would be $38 per year for a homeowner without a STAR exemption, $9 per year for someone with a STAR Program exemption and $0 per year for someone with a Senior STAR exemption.

AUSTRALIA: Telstra's powerful result
And expected full-year growth in earnings before interest and tax has been upgraded from between 5% and 7% to between 6% and 8%. Trujillo says his big structural and technological re-make of the giant telco is on track, and Telstra's December half numbers indicate that Trujillo's hugely ambitious re-make of the former monopoly is producing an accelerating shift in the group's revenue and profit base, across from old fixed line services to new technologies. Retail services sales growth -- sales to external consumers, business and government customers -- was an impressive 7.6 per cent in the half, and Telstra's overall domestic revenue growth of 5.9% was world-class, beating groups including Spain's Telefonica (4.3 %) China Telecom (2.8%), AT&T (2.6%) and France Telecom (1.9%).
