City Offering Billion-Dollar 9/11 Settlement


The City wants to negotiate a settlement with 9,000 Ground Zero workers who blame their deteriorating health on toxins inhaled at the site. Knowing the way the legal system works, if these people are looking at atleast a decade long court battle, this settlement seems like the best short term solution, but realistically speaking, it will hardly be enough to cover any long-term illnesses of thousands of people.
