Governor (州长) Paterson and Mayor Bloomberg agree on at least one thing—that the top priority for rebuilding Ground Zero is the creation of a memorial, which could be built by the 10th anniversary of September 11 Attack.“I mentioned that to the mayor, and he agreed wholeheartedly,” Paterson said after a half-hour City Hall meeting with Bloomberg. “I wanted him to know that if we can agree, we’d work on both ends to try to make that happen. We will be going in a direction that I think all New Yorkers would be proud of.” The governor said that while the PATH station and the commercial projects planned for the city were also important, finishing the memorial will send a powerful message to the people of New York. “I just expressed to the mayor, and he expressed the same thing to me that it has a lot to do with the morale (士气，民心) of the city,” Paterson said.Earlier, on his weekly radio show, the mayor chaired the National September 11 Memorial & Museum at the World Trade Center, which raised the $350 million necessary for building the complex and is now raising money for a museum endowment (捐赠). Fifteen relatives of 9/11 victims wrote a letter last week calling for faster progress, saying, “We hope that you ensure everything possible is done so that we can share a beautiful and inspiring memorial with the world on 9/11.”1.
