Gov. Mike DeWine speaks about the East Palestine train derailment with his cabinet officials during a press conference in his office.
snip-"
Gov. Mike DeWine said Congress must take action after the train derailment in East Palestine as local and state officials work to manage the impacts of the incident.
On Tuesday, DeWine said he was told that the train was not classified as a high hazardous material train, so no one needed to notify the state that it was passing through."
Snip-" On Tuesday, DeWine said he talked to the CEO of Norfolk Southern and asked if he would personally guarantee that the railroad will stay until everything is cleaned up.
He gave me his word and his commitment that the railroad would do that, DeWine said."
( as if Norfolk Southern word is good. See Sackler Family & Johnson& Johnson talcum powder lawsuits. As if Mikeys' word is good)

OP
DeWine should hold his 'nothing to see here' press conference on the very spot it derailed.

snip-"More than a week after a train hauling hazardous material derailed in northeastern Ohio and crews sent toxic chemicals pluming into the air in an effort to avoid an explosion, more and more fish are showing up dead in creeks near the area.
An estimated 3,500 fish have been killed in various creeks around and near Columbiana County as a result of crews burning toxic chemicals after a Norfolk-Southern train derailed in East Palestine, near the Pennsylvania state line, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources."

I want to see him walking around the area they say is safe:
Drinking the water and breathing the air.
