dispersion of funds
As the fund is without unlimited resources, I believe some consideration
should be taken as to whether or not the family in need will already recv
funds from other entities. Many of those affected will not have insurance or
pensions coming their way and they should be provided for first. Families
that already have savings, ins/pensions will no doubt be in a position to
provide for themselves and their families. Too many affected were
underemployed and uninsured.
We would all like to be in a position to send our children to college,
however, even those not affected will not be able to see this dream come
true. It should NOT be the goal of this fund to assure the victims children
have free college educations. The concern here should be for food, housing
and family maintenance. We should NOT set these families up to be wealthy
nor to recv benefits they would not have automatically had access to had
there not been a loss.
Should there be lawsuits filed by the families, any funds they might have
been entitled to should be deducted or in case of payments already recvd;
they should be refunded to the govt.
