To Whom It May Concern:
My husband is ine of the 343 fireman still missing at the wtc. His loss has
been devastating to me and our newborn daughter.
I disagree with many aspects of the victims compensation program .
There should be no clause that deducts income from collateral sources such as
my husbands pension and life insurance .these are never deducted in lawsuits
so why should they be deducted with the acceptance of the plan with the
conditions that you will not sue.
I also disagree that there should be a cap on pain and suffering of 250,000.
This number is based on on old formula and should be updated to reflect
today,s standards. There is no amount of money that could ease my suffering
but I have to live a future without my husband and my daughter will not know
her father.Our lives have been torn apart. Economists should be consulted to
update this amount for pain and suffering.
Lastly, many fireman and others have domestic partners . Some I know were
weeks away from being married. They should not be left out as well as
parents.
Sincererly,
