🚨 #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!
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!
