Sorry to say it but put me down as one of the people who are sick and freakin tired of the "families of 9/11". Tired of thier out of control sense of entitlement. I am sorry your son, daughter, wife, husband, etc died, but that does not give you the right to decide what happens. Enough, move on. I wish Pataki had the balls to stand up to this B.S.

Damn Straight!!!
These people need to STFU already.
It is privately owned property. They have no right to demand anything.
Pataki and Bloomberg are both sackless bitches.
Agreed. Enough is enough. They have no legal right to even file a lawsuit. Like that truckload of money the government foolishly dumped on them was enough.
As a student of Pace U’s CSIS, I’m happy for all the grants we’re getting, but do they have to name the ENTIRE school after the guy? 15 Million Is a lot but come on!

That should be 15 Million a year to keep his name on the school.
*Just the Computer Science School, not the entire University. Whoops

I don't know. In NYC, if someone, anyone, raises an objection, nothing gets built. Just after the attacks, I too was in a mood to just leave a big hole in the ground, so everyone could see what was done to us.
Well, the hole in the ground has been there 4 years and it's time to move on.
Does this city need a new Robert Moses? Is it even possible for one to arise? Perhaps not. (We would have been stuck with that west side stadium.) But at this point, we definitely need a sole authority who can start building down there.
I'm not crazy abt that new $2 billion PATH station. Its gradiosity is based on its original conception of a transit hub with a new LIRR connection. That's not happening. The one we have now is just fine.
But this lawsuit is emblematic of why there's nothing there 4 years on, and why nothing will be started anytime soon.
