STATEMENT FROM PAT LYNCH ON 9/11 DEATH
BENEFITS
PBA president Patrick J. Lynch said: “There should be no
difference in the benefits provide to the family of a police officer
who was shot and killed in the line of duty or who becomes ill and
dies from toxic exposure during the rescue, recovery or cleanup
from the attack on the World Trade Center. Both fatal injuries were
incurred in the protection of the City of New York and both are
entitled to 100% of the death benefit. The Mayor’s lawyers
should not be attempting to reduce this desperately needed and well
earned benefit.”
