Show Notes
September marks 24 years since the Sept. 11 attacks. The attacks not only took thousands of lives and changed the nation, fallout effects are still being seen two decades later. For years, the main resource of help for people exposed to the contaminated air is the World Trade Center Health Program, helping those showing conditions and diseases identified by Congress related to 9/11. However, recent funding cuts and budget shortfalls have left the program and those in need in limbo with no solid answers on the program's future. Michael Barasch, managing attorney with Barasch & McGarry, is representing a Wake County woman who lost her husband to the environmental impacts of 9/11. Barasch joined Jeff Hamlin to discuss the case.
