A Pennsylvania school district is suing Norfolk Southern for negligence stemming from last month’s train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, and the subsequent “controlled” release of toxic chemicals at the derailment site, according to a complaint

filed Thursday. The Blackhawk School District in Beaver County is alleging “the toxic fires and deadly plumes dumped a lethal cocktail on buildings, property, soil, and water supplies where deposits of the toxic materials have been found,” the complaint states. The school district is just over the state border and within a 15-mile radius of East Palestine.

An evacuation zone was established and a controlled release of the chemical followed three days later. The school district alleged in its lawsuit the release of the toxic chemicals was “without regard to Blackhawk School District, its students and staff,” due to the “negligent, reckless, ultrahazardous, and/or intentional conduct” of the Norfolk Southern corporation and railway company.

Where is the federal government. Is it because this is a Republican district and the government doesn't care.

Gun Violence Concerns to Bring Hearing, Rally to Pennsylvania CapitolAnti-gun violence advocates will rally for tighter gun control in Pennsylvania, where a politically divided government has fought firearms policy to a virtual standstill for decades. Thursday’s March For Our Lives rally marks its fifth anniversary since its inception after a 2018 mass shooting at a Florida high school. Hundreds are expected at Thursday’s rally in Harrisburg, which coincides with rallies this week in Florida, Michigan, California and Texas. Pennsylvania’s Legislature hasn’t seriously entertained any new gun restrictions for yars. But this year a one-seat Democratic majority has taken over the House and will kick off this session’s debate over gun violence with a committee hearing Thursday. We don’t need gun control. We need youth investment!
