WASHINGTON (AP) — New York has yet to spend $125 million for workers injured in the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and their aftermath. Tired of waiting, the federal government wants the money back.

>>>>Scott Milburn, spokesman for the White House Office of Management and Budget, said New York has used only $49 million of the $175 million and spent just $6 million in last budget year.

"The needs were not as large as initially feared," Milburn said.

Rep. James Walsh said the government is moving too fast to retrieve the money. "We don't know yet what the need is," said Walsh, R-N.Y. "What we do know is that there was a witches' brew of toxic substances emanating from that debris and those firefighters, police officers and construction workers were breathing that for days."

Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., said "too many people in Washington still don't realize that thousands of injured 9/11 responders still desperately need our help.


Bush used the attack on NY to further his hunger for military expansionism and conquest. Then he used NY as a prop for his hateful convention.

Then he turns and screws them at every step.
