Several months ago I wrote about the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Reauthorization Act and how there are many co-sponsors but the House and Senate Bills have been stuck in committee for several months with no apparent action.

Will Congress do the right thing for 9/11 responders ?

I checked again and the status is still the same although there are more co-sponsors. In fact in both the House and Senate a majority of members are co-sponsors. In the House, it is about 60%. In the Senate, even higher (a filibuster-proof majority) Why is leadership keeping this bill bottled up in committee?

You can follow the progress (or lack of progress) as congressional leaders act (or not) and latest news on the renew911health.org website.
