NYC 9/11 Public Portal Document

-tiquid drain cleaner." And a report by the University of California-Davis concludes that immediately after September 11, the soot in the air downtown "rivaled the air from the Kuwaiti oil fires of the Gulf War." The National Resources Defense Council will release a report today criticizing the city government's response to public concerns about air quality. The report will claim that Mayor Rudy Giuliani placed as a priority a speedy economic recovery, and did not pay sufficient attention to the health risks. The city and federal government have been focused on economic recovery this week. City Comptroller William Thompson issued a report concluding what many already suspected - that the September 11 attacks worsened the recession for New York compared to the rest of the country. Bloomberg cited the September 11 attacks in discussing his plans to balance next year's budget gap. While the Empire State Development Corporation began to distribute funds from a $700 million federal grant, a Downtown Alliance survey found that at least one out of five retail businesses near the World Trade Center were unable to pay their rent last month - a number that indicates that federal grant money may not last long enough to keep small businesses afloat. The clock is ticking for private disaster relief for these businesses as well, although there will be a slight reprieve, with three of the largest charitable relief funds announcing yesterday that the deadline to apply for emergency cash grants will be postponed from February 22 to March 8.
