Adding insult to injury is this railroad is a multi BILLION dollar company. Sadly it appears 300 families that were obviously under duress signed rights away to sue. This sickens me. What happens if their babies get sick? Will their personal insurance take care of them?I read families were offered like 1500! That's it! This is inhumane. Also maybe the ones that signed away their rights can cla8m the chemicals made them sick and they were not thi king clearly.The law clearly states to sign BINDING contracts you must be of a sound mind. How could ANYONE going through such a trauma be of sound mind?
We live 14 miles from East Palestine. I know that Erin Brockovich was there twice giving advice on the situation. The local tv stations are airing advertisements for attorneys compiling class action suits against the railroad. Many charities and the local food bank have been there passing out food. Trump came to visit and brought truckloads of bottled water and cleaning supplies for the residents. The EPA is trying to convince the residents that the water and air quality is good, however, independent testing shows otherwise. A couple we know personally live in the evacuation area. They stayed with family until they could return. They both are now suffering from burning coughs and headaches. The railroad gave them each $1000 to “take a vacation “! The gases released have permeated everything fabric (curtains, furniture etc). We fill two bird feeders and spread deer corn on the ground daily. During and after the burn we didn’t have one bird or deer for several days. Our water supply is no where near the town but we’ve noticed a bad taste even after filtering so we’ve switched to bottled water. Even though the wind was blowing in a different direction during the burn off, I’m sure we still had fallout from the chemicals. I feel badly for the residents who have no where to go and no money to move. The businesses have no customers, basketball teams scheduled to play in East Palestine are canceling and it goes on and on.....
