Los Angeles, California, July 19, 2007 - The law firm handling the ill rescue
workers case is the Worby Groner & Napoli Bern. They represented the case of a
hospital worker who has been diagnosed of cancer, lung and other digestive system
diseases and two police officers of New York City. One of the officers had leukemia
and another one had serious lung disease.

Last month, the medical examiner of New York City had given in to admitting that two
police officers, at the very least have already died of respiratory problems. These
two officers have guarded the \"ground zero\" or the WTC ruins site during the months
after the attacks. This is the first time ever such statement was released since
2001.

Recently, many other rescuers have announced that they are suffering from
respiratory problems because of the burnt debris at the WTC ruin site containing
large amounts of asbestos.

Presently the said law firm is representing almost 10,000 of the WTC workers through
a class action lawsuit against the New York City Hall.

It was stated in the lawsuit that Bloomberg along with the insurance company he
handled have \"unethically profited\" from the federal government funding. They
mentioned that the ill workers were not provided with sufficient funds for the
medication and healthcare they require.

The lawsuit strategically declared that the company had already spent 74 million
dollars of the funds in legal bills and overhead. It has also provided payment of
45,000 dollars to a worker who had fallen off a ladder in the ruined WTC site, now
known as the \"ground zero.\"

David Worby of the Worby Groner & Napoli Bern law firm insinuated that Bloomberg was
given a billion dollars by the Congress only to cover off the mistakes that he and
former Mayor, Rudy Giuliani, committed by failure to protect the thousands of
workers who have sacrificed themselves during the rescue operations. Worby also
declared that the Mayor is adding insult to the workers\' injuries by refusing to
utilize the funds that is intended for helping out the ill and dying heroes of the
9/11 event.
