We all remember that fateful blaze back in 2003. The Station nightclub went up in flames after illegal soundproofing materials caught on fire because of the pyrotechnics the band Great White used during its show.
More than 100 people died in the blaze and a fund of more than $176 has been awarded the more than 165 survivors and relatives of victims.
Caprio, the General Treasurer, was given guidance from the Ethics Commission regarding the dispursement of the funds. He asked for help in the process because a law firm his family is associated with represents more than 40 victims.
We applaud his ethical response to the situation and feel confident the funds will now be properly disbursed.
