Rep. John Hall (D-NY) said in a statement yesterday that he opposes building the proposed Cordoba House Muslim community center so close to Ground Zero: “I think honoring those killed on Sept. 11 and showing sensitivity to their families, it would be best if the center were built at a different location.”

Hall is one of several New York Congressmen, like Peter King (R), who say the developers should relocate from their planned site. Gov. David Paterson (D) has even offered to help the developers acquire state land should they agree to move.
