AG James released the following statement after reports that the Trump administration’s cuts to the federal workforce are impacting the World Trade Center Health Program:

“Recklessly cutting the staffing, funding, and resources that ensure 9/11 first responders and survivors get the health care they need is flat-out cruel. Thousands of New Yorkers made heroic sacrifices to save others during this attack and are experiencing lifelong health impacts as a result. These heroes deserve the utmost respect and care from their government. These cuts are unacceptable and must be reversed.”
