WASHINGTON — Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg sent a letter Sunday to the CEO of Norfolk Southern, warning that the freight rail company must"demonstrate unequivocal support for the people" of East Palestine, Ohio, and surrounding areas after a fiery train derailment led to the release of chemicals and residents expressing concerns about their health.
Still, uncertainty persists about the consequences of a derailment that occurred roughly two weeks ago. Asked if he would move back to East Palestine if he were already living there, DeCarlo said:"I have two little boys. I would not." The transportation secretary's letter on Sunday came across as a stern warning to Norfolk Southern, saying:"It is imperative that your company be unambiguous and forthright in its commitment to take care of the residents — now and in the future."
