as saying "no"...Reporters later asked McGuinty if that flexibility could include tax hikes to offset dropping government revenues, and got an uncharacteristically snippy response.
The premier loudly asked why anyone would raise taxes in a time of economic challenge, insisting that "not even the NDP support that."
Ooooh, Dalton... that's really hittin' below the belt...
McGuinty seems to dislike questions about tax hikes after breaking a promise not to raise taxes in his first term by introducing a new health care premium of up to $900 for every Ontario worker.
He called reporters silly for daring to raise the issue.
