🚨 #BREAKING: EAST PALESTINE, OHIO TO RECEIVE $600 MILLION FROM NORFOLK SOUTHERN
This is a STEP TOWARDS JUSTICE for the great people of East Palestine.
The settlement agreement would provide funds for all class action claims within a 20 mile radius of the derailment, and personal injury claims within a 10 mile radius.
The train company will also provide compensation for past, present, and future personal injuries resulting from chemical exposure, the residents’ attorneys said.
But there’s still a LOT to be done here, and we must continue to hold Norfolk Southern and the state and federal governments accountable.
THIS IS NOT OVER!
They’re going to get Alex Jones on the hook for $1.5B for asking a question, and meanwhile these guys poke a hole in the tankers and light them on fire, causing irreparable damage to the surrounding environment and they don’t even pay half that amount. What a joke.
it is amazing that I came here to say pretty much this same thing. just was gonna use Trump instead.
not enough. too many people are still endangered.
Here's some coins peasants. Throws copper coins into Dog shit. Peasants scramble after coins. Sniffs derisively, big business walks away. How about not blowing up tankers full of deadly poisons. Did you know large banks get fined pennies for the crimes they knowingly commit. The crime is so good and profitable they do it anyway because the slap on the wrist is nothing compared to the profitability. They need to not get away with the crimes. The punishment should be punitive. Its not, our justice system is broken.
What will the populous receive? That is a drop in the bucket for every homeowner and family member. Is the company going to clean up the spill, pay for soil and water clean up as well? Contamination does not stay within 20 miles. How do they insure that East Palestine officials don’t pocket/squander the money? Open and full accounting of the funds is a must!
