Staten Islanders still waiting for Zadroga money

Staten Island 9/11 first responders and other workers who were sickened with cancers, respiratory diseases and other illnesses after working at the World Trade Center site are now taking a hit to their wallets.

Two years after Democratic President Barack Obama signed the $2.7 billion James Zadroga Act to provide health care for the first responders here and elsewhere, not a penny of the money has been paid out.

Where's the money?

I'm sure there has been an extensive expenditure for office space, equipment, and extra staff to administer it...
