""With its ever-changing replies, the city plays three-card monte with Sept. 11 records," attorney Andrew Carboy said about the stream of Freedom of Information Law denials."
"Carboy filed a new lawsuit against the city on Sunday, asking a judge to order the city to produce the records."
"FOIL Appeals Officer Jeffrey Lowell claims that searches 'have not identified any records responsive to your requests under FOIL,' according to court documents."
"The denials came in February, three weeks after incoming Corporation Counsel Steven Banks testified before City Hall and voiced concerns."
New York City has denied a request for data regarding toxins at Ground Zero after 9/11, claiming no records exist. This denial follows the discovery of 68 boxes of information just four months prior. Advocates for 9/11 survivors are suing the city, alleging officials are withholding vital information. Attorney Andrew Carboy criticized the city's inconsistent responses, likening them to a deceptive game. The latest denial involved a FOIL request for records sent to the mayor's office and the Law Department, which were claimed to be unsearchable.
