Bloomberg's Sept. 11 Presentation

Rudy Giuliani, among others, will surely be watching closely when Michael Bloomberg goes to DC tomorrow to discuss the findings of a mayoral panel on the health problems of first responders and residents near the World Trade Center.

This afternoon, Bloomberg sent a letter[pdf] to members of Congress previewing his panel's findings:

"On Wednesday, I will explain what the Panel found: that many first responders, business owners, New York City residents, and workers and volunteers from all 50 states who dedicated long hours toward the recovery effort, have gotten sick with asthma, other respiratory problems, and mental illness such as post-traumatic stress disorder."

All of a sudden they care? Then why did Bloomie and Co. spend millions on city lawyers fighting the rescue workers and fire and police who have been sick all along?

Its 5 years late. 5 long years of miserable WTC sickness for thousands of brave New Yorkers.

If this isn 't immoral, the City pretending our own people aren't sick and worse, fighting them over money, then please tell me, what is ?

What is worse than this ?

He's probably taking his wallett up there so watch all the butt kissing by people who should be taking this guy to task.

What bloomberg did with 9/11 money and holding up health care for 5 years for first responders is immoral and should never be forgotten.
