Ohio's US senators say News 5 / Scripps survey of East Palestine residents in line with what they're seeing
EAST PALESTINE, Ohio — Ohio’s senators are now reacting to our first-ever independent community survey in East Palestine. They say the results we got line up with what they’ve seen on the ground.
Seventy percent told us they do not think the drinking water is safe, despite state and federal leaders saying it is. "They're not surprising to me, they're certainly consistent with what I see on the ground in East Palestine, which is a lot of people just don't trust their government, they don't trust the EPA and they don't trust Norfolk Southern,” Vance said.
“We've got to get the toxic mounds of dirt out of East Palestine into properly licensed facilities," Vance said.About 6.7 million gallons of liquid wastewater have been hauled out. “People have every right to be frustrated, every right to be terrified and until you finish that cleanup you are never going to be able to rebuild this community in the way it deserves,” Vance said.
