Concerns about the East Palestine train derailment's impact on local residents' health remain widespread, despite officials saying that municipal water and air testing shows the area is safe.
But on Tuesday, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said that, should any health problems arise related to the incident, the railroad company should foot the bill.
"The railroad needs to pay for it," DeWine said during a joint press conference with the Environmental Protection Agency. "The railroad needs to pay for anything that they cause, anything that they did. So when someone shows up at the clinic and if they do not have insurance, the railroad needs to be made to pay for that."
