Gov. Eliot Spitzer supports Mayor Michael Bloomberg on 9/11 illnesses:

“Mayor Bloomberg’s report sheds light on how more than five years after
September 11th, New York City’s first responders, the residents and workers
of lower Manhattan, and their families are still suffering from the
aftermath of our great national tragedy. Exposure to dust and debris has
left many who lived, worked and volunteered countless hours of their time
in the difficult weeks and months that followed with serious lingering
health problems and need for sustained medical assistance. As a nation, we
have a duty to provide appropriate funding to address this serious problem.”

Bloomberg wants $150 million a year from the federal government for the costs.
