Want less government? Vote for abortion rights | Letters to the editor
South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Monday - 05/06/2024 - 04:15 AM

Ron DeSantis enacted a 15-week abortion ban in 2022. On May 1, DeSantis’ six-week abortion ban became law; many women and girls at that point don’t even know they are pregnant.

South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Monday - 05/06/2024 - 04:15 AM
Pier Sixty-Six, the landmark that rises high and stands out with its crown of spires, could be deemed a historic structure in Fort Lauderdale, preserving it forever.

It’s considered important for its historic associations with the Phillips Petroleum Company. “It is one of the most, if not the most, recognizable and significant structures in Fort Lauderdale and represents an important historical time in our city’s history,” said Vice Mayor Steven Glassman.
