Gov. Pataki, finally heard the quiet, yet emotional appeals of the majority of the 9/11 families, that he stop the Port Authority (under his command) and developers from erecting a controversial museum called The Freedom Center from surrounding and drowning out the 9/11 memorial.
The families compelling and poignant appeals were made during the nationwide televised 9/11 memorial service. Many others wore Tshirts showing their anger over this museum being built there and detracting from the solemness of the site through its anti-american exhibits.
In the end, political expediency won over money& connections.
Its about time!
