The New York City mayor’s office has ordered the Department of Environment Protection to test the air where the remains of World Trade Center victims has been found in recent days.
Deputy Mayor Ed Sklyer says they ordered the air and material samples to make sure that people working in the area are safe. He said they are searching for asbestos.
In the year 2002, other officials had asked for a more thorough search but the project was finished months ahead of what city officials had planned. A retired police lieutenant has said the initial search was done too fast and retired cop John McArdle said the search had been done poorly.
Well, its all on the record and its coming back to haunt those who called the search off too soon.

On many levels, our society addresses community business in a lackadaisical manner with accountability succumbing to haste. It comes as no surprise that feet have been shuffled regarding the processing of accurate information and the sharing of it with taxpaying citizens.
A job done in a thorough manner is a treasure today, so New York city workers need to get busy. Election Day is coming. Perhaps some pre-election homework would be prudent.
