Broward’s heart pilot project has saved lives | Opinion
South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Sunday - 05/05/2024 - 07:00 AM
Two weeks ago, the Sun Sentinel published an opinion letter from Howard Tescher about the Broward County Health Pilot Project. Unfortunately, the opinion failed to let Sun Sentinel readers know all the facts. Most importantly, the project has medically helped approximately 1,000 lives of Broward County residents. Some of these people needed open-heart surgery, while others needed stents or medication.

Ethics enforcement in Florida has long been a joke. And not a funny joke, like: Why can’t you trust an atom? Because they make up everything. Last year, for instance, the head of the state’s ethics commission made headlines for violating the state’s ethics rules — a sentence you just don’t see every day. He wasn’t punished for it, either.

Campus protests a sad time for America | Letters to the editor
South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Sunday - 05/05/2024 - 05:00 AM
I believe the nationwide student protests at colleges and universities were instigated by external anti-Israel, antisemitic forces. Where is the FBI in all of this? Where are the college administrators who should demand photo IDs from the real students and separate them from non-students? And what about students who should have peaceful surroundings to study and graduate from their colleges? Those who trespass on private property should be arrested. This includes those who virtually destroyed Hamilton Hall at Columbia University.
