’ economic and disaster assistance. These failures make the need for attention to the ongoing health needs of this largely low income and largely immigrant community even more necessary’. Additionally, these areas must get materials and be able to speak with assistants xsho are able to converse in several languages, especially Cantonese and Mandarin in Chinatown and Spanish in the Lower East Side.

Photographs of the plume from the collapse of the WTC show that parts of Brooklyn, also my district, were heavily impacted. Indeed, the incidents of respiratory incidents now being recorded there give empirical evidence that there were, and remain, very real health problems from the WTC attack that are not being addressed. These parts of Brooklyn that the plume affected must also be made eligible for the cleanup. In fact, because of the lack of emphasis on the impacts on Brooklyn, it is even more important that they receive honest and forth right information about the possible health impacts if they fail to have an adequate cleaning.

Again, I ask you to address these problems immediately. Much too much time has already passed and it is high times that the health needs of these neighborhoods be adequately addressed.

Thanking you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely yours,

Martin Connor
