| After reading about the $350 mistake that the World | | | | The failure to tell the construction companies about |
| Trade Center Captive Insurance Company | | | | their possible liability for insurance companies of the |
| committed, it made me think of all of the 9/11 | | | | WTC workers has cost the workers full coverage of |
| workers who could have benefited from that money. | | | | their medical expenses. This is a huge disappointment |
| How could not telling the construction companies that | | | | for the workers because many of them were relying |
| they might be held liable would end up hurting the | | | | on that money to support their families due to being |
| WTC workers. I find this completely unfair in which | | | | out of work. The insurance coverage that may now |
| the Bloomberg administration should take the blame | | | | be void should fall on their hands of the World Trade |
| for it. The WTC 9/11 workers put their lives on hold | | | | Center Captive Insurance Company. It is their |
| and did everything they could to help the situation. | | | | responsibility to take hold of the mistakes that they |
| Sacrificing countless man hours, time away from their | | | | made and make the situation right again. |
| families, as well as the emotionally draining work they | | | | Thousands of World Trade Center workers have |
| did day in and day out. When they showed signs of | | | | devoted a portion of their lives to help the World |
| illnesses their safety should have been the first | | | | Trade Center become whole again. And now when |
| priority, and it ended up being one of the lasts. | | | | the WTC workers are asking for others to be |
| The illnesses that the 9/11 workers experienced due | | | | responsible and own up to their mistakes, they are |
| to the work conditions at the WTC caused | | | | looking the other way. These ground zero workers |
| respiratory problems, cancer, and other complications | | | | have been out of work and injured for nearly seven |
| due to the toxins that they were exposed to. The | | | | years and have yet to see a light at the tunnel. |
| Bloomberg administration made a major mistake by | | | | Seeing this project gain seem is very good news, |
| not notifying the construction companies that they | | | | however ground zero workers have still be left with |

| simple protocol that was forfeited by their | | | | site. Napoli Bern Ripka supports 911 rescue workers |
