NEWSDAY LETTER TO EDITOR
Ground Zero is for the people
After reading the articles and editorials for the last few days, it appears that at least a few people are listening. I hope our elected officials are listening too. For too long the Lower Manhattan Development Corp. has been allowed to control what information is released to the public.
It has continually ignored the safety and security concerns raised by the 9/11 family groups. When information from the governor’s counterterrorist expert confirms these suspicions, the LMDC ignores the recommendations and withholds the information from the public and the City Council. It continues to act as judge and jury with everything from the memorial to the proper handling of remains. It continues to act as if it does not answer to anyone but itself.
It is time someone calls for a formal investigation into how the LMDC has been operating for the last four years.
