WIIITBY FREE PRESS, WIBDNESDAY, MAY 9, 1985, PAGE 3 'Whitby voters weren't impres sed by the poliicians, 7 - charged they On the whole, Whitby voters weren't excited by last Thursday's elec- tion. At least, that was the impression received after the Free Press conducted an informai exit poil at four local poiling stations. Most of the people spoken to were not only disappointed but upset that neither the local party candidates nor their leaders offered any real discussion on the issues they wanted to hear about. During thek informai poil, Whitby voters ex- pressed concern about three issues: the exten- sion of public funding to the Roman Catholic separate school system; GO-ALRT; and, unem- tal1edo' think they takdenough about the separate schools," one voter said outside West Lynde Public School.

"I'd like to know what they are doing with our dollars," he said. Fred and Jane Martin Split their support. Mrs. Martin indicated support for Liberai leader David Peterson and the party's Durham West Candidate, Brian Evans. "I really like Peter- son, l'm giving my sup- port to him, " she said. Martin, on the other hand, expressed con- cern about the issues noted earlier and was disappointed that none of the leaders paid a visit to the riding. He feit that separate school funding issue was badly handled by al parties. "But I per- sonally feel it wasn't an issue."

Heard Public School polling station Lucien and Thersa Bedard saic they supported the Grits because they feit the Tories had been in officE too long. "The Conservatives have been in there toc long," Mr. Bedard said, "They do what they want. They think they own the country." Gary and Shirley RosE said they didn't pay toc much attention to thE election but noted thal neither the parties noi the candidates exciteÉ themn very much.
