Nice story. Good to see you have a warm and fuzzy side, which wasn't evident in your earlier e-mail.
There's just one problem with your logic. The State, I am confident, neither built, nor had any responsibility for the safety and maintanence of the Mall. On the other hand, the Bridge which collapsed, killing 13, and injuring 145, was their baby.
The State can quickly finance this Fund, and take care of the victims of this Tragedy, or they can wait, and in the end, pay more to the victims, and millions to their lawyers, attempting to defend, what appears to be their clear negligence.
My vote is to be pro-active, take care of these victims, and in the long run, probably reduce the ultimate cost to the Taxpayers, as a result of this Tragic event.
