Why did people criticize Mayor Giuliani ?
The letter asserted that Giuliani rushed to conclude the recovery effort once gold and silver had been recovered from World Trade Center vaults and thereby prevented the remains of many victims from being recovered : " Mayor Giuliani 's actions meant that fire fighters and citizens who perished would either remain buried at Ground Zero forever , with no closure for families , or be removed like garbage and deposited at the Fresh Kills Landfill .
