A Winnipeg artist laments higher property taxes boosting public costs and shrinking private spending. The piece argues layered government taxes crowd out street economy, hurt jobs like Guido the handyman and painting students, and demand public sector reform amid rising tuition and industry slowdowns.

Manitoba Teachers Decry 2.6 Percent Public School Funding Cut
The Manitoba Teachers Society calls the 2.6 per cent reduction a savage attack on public schools. President David Turner says the move strains already stretched schools as class sizes grow and materials shrink. He accuses the Filmon government of offloading costs to local boards and labels policies shortsighted and backward. The province now funds 66.1 per cent of operating costs, down from 82.4 per cent in 1981, with the 1992 budget at 794 million. Moosomin may proclaim daylight saving time with broad support, while a Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association task force could study the issue.

Province rejects daylight time changes beyond full province shift
Government will not reopen the Time Act this session and only a province wide daylight saving time adoption would be considered if major associations support it. Meanwhile parents at Sandy Bay Reserve await a council response over student assaults, with a peace bond sought for a 13 year old. Prairie Skills Inc. secures a second one year contract worth 150000 with the Canada Employment Centre Brandon to coordinate training for unemployment recipients south of the border to Cartwright.
