Its no surprise that New York Mayor Bloomberg had some nose to nose talks with newly installed governor Eliot Spitzer about the redevelopment of the World Trace Center. Bloomberg told the Gothamist recently that he did indeed have a long talk with the new governor. The Times weighs in on this summit meeting and says Mayor B provided “greater clarity about the issue” of the WTC Memorial Foundation plans.”
Bloomberg is quoted as saying “this is not a memorial just for the families. This is a memorial for America,’ the good mayor is rumored to have told Spitzer. “We’ve found a way to display the names in a way that I think will show the enormity of the tragedy and at the same time show that everybody was equal.”
As odd as this all may sound, it is not nonsense. The mayor is actually adding some clarity to a rather complicated, intricate battle over how and where the names of 9/11 victims will be displayed at the “WTC” work site when ever all is said and done on this issue. We say “here, here” Mr. Mayor. Thank God you’re talking to the governor because not everybody he talks to is making sense.

All this “talk” does indeed make sense. I agree with you. Thank God!
Communication is essential, for this will be the one place in America where the consciousness of the world can rise to a level that will inspire hope in humanity. I pray that these discussions will continue.
