East Palestine, Ohio
East Palestine, Ohio residents are being required to sign indemnity waivers, releasing Norfolk Southern Railway (NSR) from legal liability, as a requirement of having their water/air tests conducted on their property.
Senator Vance called Norfolk Southern Railroad officials and asked them about it. According to Vance, the response from Norfolk Southern Railway was that the liability waiver was accidentally presented. Is there anyone left in this world who would believe such a fairy tale?
Of course, there is a massive civil lawsuit coming and NSR is trying to reduce their exposure.
