Tuesday, November 06, 2001 2:48 PM Victims Fund Comments I recently read the article by the AP inviting comments on the victims compensation fund. Here are my comments 1) Victims should not be compensated for lawyer's fees. This will create a situation for profiteering by lawyers from this event and future events. Victims should seek compensation on their own or have others help, but not paid through the fund. 2) The program should set up local field offices at or near the site. In addition, they should be allowed to apply for compensation at local Welfare or other type offices. 3) Victims should have the right to appeal if they are not satisfied, but not through the courts. An independent mediator should be used. 4) Compensations amounts should not be effected by insurance payments, pensions or gifts from charities. The victims have suffered enough and don't need the strain or complexity. ===== Sincerely, Individual Comment San Diego, California September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written. 2001-11-06 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
