Fun fact for today.
Just understand still piece of garbage. Just went to Ohio for photo opportunity. He doesn’t give a f**k about, the people of East, Palestine, Ohio. #trainderailment #Ohio #eastpalatine

Does it seem like the MSM is failing to connect the dots between the squashed rail strike and the derailment in East Palestine?Safety, not money, was the primary complaint of workers.

The EPA steps in to take over the East Palestine train derailment cleanup

The Environmental Protection Agency announced Tuesday that it would take control of the cleanup of a Norfolk Southern train derailment in Ohio earlier this month that released hazardous chemicals into the environment.

Under the legally binding order, Norfolk Southern must identify and clean up contaminated soil and water resources, pay for the costs of work performed by the EPA and reimburse the agency for additional cleaning services offered to residents and businesses.

The agency's move comes as the emergency response effort has now morphed into an environmental cleanup that is the responsibility of the railroad, EPA Administrator Michael Regan said during a Tuesday press conference.

"Norfolk Southern will pay for cleaning up the mess that they created and the trauma that they inflicted," Regan said. "In no way, shape or form will Norfolk Southern get off the hook for the mess that they created."

The company will also have to attend and participate in public meetings requested by the EPA, he said.

I don't think #NorfolkSouthern should have any hands into how the investigation into #EastPalatine rail toxic release is run. They need to write some big checks and have this run by an independent entity.
