LETTER OF THE DAY - Financial institutions and personal information

Don't condemn teen mother
The Editor, Sir: While I join those who are rightfully outraged at the actions of the 19-year-old mother, who allegedly abandoned her two-year-old daughter, I read with disappointment the comments of Children's Advocate Mary Clarke and Hear the...

The Editor, Sir: As everyone makes his/her own critique of the woman who reportedly abandoned her child to go an entertainment event permit me to add my opinion. So many times we hear of mothers leaving their children ...

THE EDITOR, Sir:With the massive decrease in the cost of oil worldwide, I continue to be baffled by our gasolene prices still being so high. A gallon of gas in Florida can be purchased today for US$1.56 ...
