OHIO (VINnews) — A resident of East Palestine, Ohio, where dangerous toxic chemicals were released due to a train derailment, told radio host Glenn Back that “Norfolk Southern”, and EPA-associated agency testing the air for toxins, asked her to sign a release to “indemnify, release and hold harmless” the groups involved from legal claims, including injury.

She refused to sign but 340 others did. She added that she requested that the EPA itself conduct the testing, rather than an outside agency, however she was flatly told that was not an option.

Fake News!

Read the actual paper, and you will see that the story is being misconstrued.

Not that I care either way, but why do news agencies lie to us and treat us like we are mentally retarded?

NO WAY – you need to sue the company, the government, the EPA

Amazing amount of illiteracy.
The hold harmless is for the testing being done on the property, not the incident.
If the team comes in and scratches the paint, they’re asking to not be liable.
This is not holding harmless for the spill.
The EPA itself isn’t that large: that’s why they hire companies to do the large scale testing.

Well, according to nyt, anything bad happening in palestine must be Israel’s fault. Freedman will have an editorial in nyt tomorrow about this.
