EPA Administrator Michael Regan says he’s asking residents in eastern Ohio near the Pennsylvania line to trust the government.
Residents of East Palestine, Ohio have expressed concern over toxic chemicals after a train derailment. Lucas Tomlinson with FOX News joined LiveNOW from FOX's Josh Breslow from Ohio with the latest.
Since the derailment, residents have complained about headaches and irritated eyes and finding their cars and lawns covered in soot. The hazardous chemicals that spilled from the train killed thousands of fish, and residents have talked about finding dying or sick pets and wildlife. "They just danced around the questions a lot," said Danielle Deal, who lives a few miles from the derailment site. "Norfolk needed to be here."
State and federal officials have promised to make sure Norfolk Southern not only pays for the cleanup but also reimburses residents.
