  <p>...the Franklin Square and Munson Fire District, which oversees a
  volunteer fire department serving a hamlet of 30,000 residents just
  outside of Queens, New York, became the first legislative body in the
  country to officially support a new investigation into the events of
  9/11...</p>

<p><strong>What legislative body is that?</strong> It is said that they support a new independent investigation but whose responsibility is to start an investigation like that? Are firefighters a legislative body in the USA? </p>

<p><a href="https://www.lawyerscommitteefor9-11inquiry.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Lawyers' Committee for 9/11 Inquiry</a> have been trying the open a new investigation without result for years why is it any different now? </p>

<p>The fire district has five elected members who oversee the organization's $2.5 million annual budget. They are elected officials who vote on policy, but it's a stretch to refer to them as a "legislative body." Most fire departments in the United States are divisions of other government agencies and do not have their own elected officials. Here's a more detailed explanation of the Franklin Square and Munson Fire District from a <a href="https://www.osc.state.ny.us/localgov/audits/firedists/2017/franklinsquare-munson.pdf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">New York state government report</a> (PDF):</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>The Franklin Square and Munson Fire District (District) is a district
  corporation of the State, distinct and separate from the hamlet of
  Franklin Square, Nassau County, in which it is located. The District
  covers an area of about three square miles consisting of Franklin
  Square, Garden City South and parts of West Hempstead, and serves
  about 30,000 residents. It has approximately 110 active volunteer
  members. The Board of Fire Commissioners (Board) is composed of five
  elected members and is responsible for the District’s overall
  financial management and safeguarding its resources. The Board
  appoints a Treasurer and a Secretary. The Treasurer acts as the
  District’s chief fiscal officer and is responsible for the receipt and
  custody of District funds, disbursing and accounting for those funds
  and meeting any other reporting requirements. The Secretary is
  responsible for keeping a complete and accurate record of the
  proceedings of each Board meeting and all Board-adopted rules and
  regulations. The District’s 2016 general fund budget appropriations
  totaled $2,520,280, which were funded primarily by real property
  taxes.</p>
