re: #68 calochortus

That’s essentially what happened here. The Zadroga bill reopens the original VCF for another 5 years, along with health monitoring for responders.

Once this new 5-year period expires, expect another fight over reopening the fund again as scientists potentially reveal yet more connections between exposures and illnesses among Ground Zero responders and those living near Ground Zero (longer term ailments that might manifest themselves within 10-13 years).
