Sen. JDVance1: Taxpayers are already footing the bill for a disastrous train derailment caused by Norfolk Southern in East Palestine.
“We just cannot forget about these people … this town is not cleaned up in the right amount of time and this is a disastrous failure of government, a disastrous failure of every institution in our country that should be looking after vulnerable people … they didn’t ask for this, it happened to them and they deserve to be made whole,” Vance said.
Republicans, Vance said, should fall on the side of protecting their constituents from large companies like Norfolk Southern as opposed to representing the interests of companies who already have wide influence in D.C. “… the most important thing that it does is it gives our firefighters proper notice,” Vance said of his legislation. “The thing that happened in East Palestine … will continue to happen, because you have these train crashes with hazardous chemicals and these firefighters don’t know what’s on [the trains], because the train companies don’t have to give the local authorities proper notice about what’s going on.
