NEW YORK, NY – City Comptroller John C. Liu stated the following on the extension of coverage in the Zadroga Act:

“The extension of coverage in the Zadroga Act is a long-overdue victory for our first responders, rescue and recovery workers, and residents of Lower Manhattan who have become ill. As we gather together tomorrow to remember those lost on 9/11, we also remember those who have passed away as a result of their exposure to toxins at the World Trade Center site. We applaud the Federal Government for extending the coverage, as well as the families, labor unions, and legislators who fought tirelessly for this.”
