So let them sue. I'm sure they'd be fine winning in lawsuits. Federal money came from FEMA I think which distributes to a variety of disasters and not just 9-11 victims. Over 3 billion was collected by over 500 charitable orgs in 37 states and 3 countries - much of it not just to the victims or families but to the city; often some of the charity was funnelled into other areas that had nothing to do with 9-11.
