Victim Fund 9-11
My hope is that the fund is used wisely for immediate needs rather than to
create 'millionaires' from the fund paid for by taxpayers with much less. It
appears at this point that private fund-raising efforts have unlimited
resources for compensation to victims in need, and public funds should be
used to fill any gaps that surface. I hope that needs will be considered
when distributing the monies, as many have other resources, such as workers'
compensation, life insurance, disability benefits, and social security (to
name a few). Hopefully, this will allow future victims protection they may
need. Lastly, I hope it doesn't turn into another 'cash cow' for lawyers.
