"With its ever-changing replies, the city plays three-card monte with Sept. 11 records. City officials continue their grinding resistance even as new leadership has pledged transparency."
"The Law Department's records are not maintained in a manner that allows it to search for records responsive to the request, according to FOIL Appeals Officer Jeffrey Lowell."
"The latest denial is a shameful effort to make records of the most significant event in New York City history 'disappear,' according to attorney Andrew Carboy."
New York City is being sued for not releasing records related to cancer-causing toxins at Ground Zero after the 9/11 attacks. Attorneys filed the lawsuit to compel the city to provide documents requested under the Freedom of Information Law. The city denied previous requests, claiming no records were found. Advocates criticized the city's response, stating it lacks transparency. The lawsuit reflects a long-standing pattern of resistance from city officials regarding 9/11-related records, despite promises of transparency from new leadership.
