Councilwoman Margaret Chin and former Councilman Alan J. Gerson are the only two politicians who vocally have objected, to date, to holding the trials Downtown, only blocks from the WTC site. “It is a mistake and it should be rectified,” says Mr. Gerson, and “It’s clear federal officials were not thinking about you (the community), in terms of the security risk and in terms of the logistics nightmare.” Since money will flow into NYC if the trials are held here, residents should begin compiling lists of conveniences for the communities.
