Rudy Men in WTC Health Hit at Christie (Whitman)
Source: NY Post

Accusations by former Environmental Protection Agency head Christie Todd Whitman that the city is at fault for health hazards at Ground Zero are "ridiculous," according to representatives for former mayor Rudy Giuliani.

"This is revisionist history," said Giuliani's former deputy mayor Joe Lhota. "She's making this stuff up."

But lawyers representing 10,000 sick 9/11 first responders in a class-action suit said Giuliani and the city are absolutely to blame.

"Whitman is no saint," said attorney Paul Napoli. "But when it came to responsibility for the workers, it was Giuliani . . . The responsibility falls squarely on his shoulders."

David Worby - another attorney for the 9/11 workers - agreed that Giuliani was "more at fault" than Whitman for a lack of respirators and monitoring.

"Really, they're both at fault," Worby said, adding the city "did not enforce anything."
