Still Awaiting Decision On Petition's Legality

October 3, 2009

Four days after NYC CAN's hearing at the State Supreme Court, Justice Edward Lehner is still considering our motion to reject Referee's Louis Crespo's recommendation that the petition not be submitted to the voters on November 3.

On Friday October 2, our attorney, Dennis McMahon, contacted Judge Lehner's office and was told that a decision had not yet been issued, but that he would be notified when a ruling has been reached.

As previously reported, after the hearing on Tuesday September 29, the consensus was that Judge Lehner will give both sides' arguments due consideration. If the court rules favorably, a full-scale publicity campaign will be launched to see that the referendum succeeds. If the Judge finds for the City, his decision will be analyzed to determine whether an appeal is warranted.

If the referendum does not make it to the ballot this November, it will be but the beginning. NYC CAN will push ahead with multiple simultaneous efforts to bring about the first proper investigation into the events of September 11, 2001.
