iDonors have right Il fuill disclosure For many people, sacri- fice and generosity go hand-in-hand when il jcornes to making dona- tions to a charity. Few donors have enough money tucked Jaway to be able to donate _without giving up some- Sthing else in their lives, a wligymke in order ta support the charities of their choice. Yet, the vast majory of donors have no idea what happens to their money after they sign theor cheques. Mississauga East- Cooksville MP Albina Guamnieri has tabled a pri- vate members bill that would make salary disclo- sure mandatory for the top five executives of a charity The bill would also cap payments at $250,000 to any executive at a Canadian registered chari- ty Guarnieri wants to make sure donors can find the answers they need to help them figure out which agunusy shonuld bc tic recipient of their hard- earned cash. Itfs a much-needed bill - one thaïs long overdue - that should help case the minds of those who worry about how their donations are spent.

Both times 1 was at fault and over the three-hour parking limit. Upon receiving the third ticket, 1 knew 1 wasn't parked longer than three hours. 1 taok my notice ta Town Hall with a photo af my tire with the chalk mark put there by the officer. Because 1 presented the correct information, the Town gave me cansid- eration for. this infraction. 1 used the third option on the ticketc which is ta talk with someane aver the couniter at Town Hall. They were very friendly and helpful and not there ta make our lives miserable. The twa Town emplayees 1 spake with mentioned changes could be pending ta the parking bylaw. People shauld send suggestions ta Town Hall. Believe me they wîll listen. 1, for one, would like ta see the three-haur maximum increased as 1cm now a senior and it takes me longer ta, dlean out my garage.

At the age of nine, 1'm almast aid 1 hope the Town of Milton will keep enough ta walk ar bike there with my the Bruce Street library open as .a friends. Now we, and others in old Milton, branch library will need a car ride ta get ta the new CAMERON HEWTON library at Main Street and Thompson MILTON would be welcome here DEAR EDITOR: If's to be hoped that U.S. President Barack Obamia will honour his promise of an executive order restricting use of federal funds for abortion services and that the order will prove ta, be effective. Although many Ieading U.S. pro-life advocates are deeply disappointed by the omission from the healh care bill of wording forbidding use of federal funds for abortions, the executive order would show that, at least, the White House is more in lune with the wishes of Americans than our federal and provincial govemnments are of Canadians' wishes. A CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey issued in November 2009 showed that 61 per cent of the American public oppose the use af public money to, pay for abortions. In the same month, a poli by the Enviranics Research Group for Life Canada found that 67 per cent of Canadians (66 per cent in Ontario) oppose public fund- ing of abortions, with exceptions for emergency situa- tions. The direct cost of abortions in Ontario is $30 million a year - $30 million that two-thirds of the citizens of the province prefer the governient ta invest in health- care elsewhere.
