And they just keep on coming for the ill-fated WTC Memorial.

Fundraising for the World Trade Center memorial has been halted. Memorial Foundation board member Tom Johnson says "It's only fair to donors to be able to expressly say how their money will be used and how much the project will cost." WNYC's Dan Blumberg reports.

The non-profit's fundraising has already been hamstrung by the controversies that have dogged nearly every aspect of rebuilding. Still, the foundation has raised $130 million from private donors and another $300 million has been committed by government. That's far short of the $972 million a contractor estimated Michael Arad "Reflecting Absence" design would cost.
