I commend Governor Spitzer for achieving such an overwhelmingly positive settlement for the future of New York City and Lower Manhattan. This represents an important acceleration of the process to ensure the growth and vitality of Lower Manhattan. I and others have persistently urged insurance companies to come to the table and I am gratified that they have finally forged such a beneficial agreement.
