Biden aides weigh economic aid for East Palestine after derailment
"White House aides are weighing if or how they can provide economic relief for East Palestine, Ohio, after the town was affected by a train derailment last month that spilled hazardous materials, although it remains unclear what form the relief could take, according to four people who were briefed on the matter.
The planning is taking place amid intense scrutiny of the Biden administration’s response to the disaster, which has raised the prospect of potential health risks and long-term harm to the drinking water and air in the area. Sens. Sherrod Brown (D) and J.D. Vance (R) of Ohio, along with other Democrats and Republicans, separately released legislation Wednesday that primarily aims to improve rail safety in response to the derailment.
The exact details of any potential White House action are unknown, and the administration says it is determined to force Norfolk Southern, the company that owns the train that derailed, to pay for the harm caused to residents. The administration may also face challenges in crafting a financial aid package for a town that has fewer than 5,000 people. But many residents already have decided to leave the town or keep their children out of school, putting pressure on the federal government to help the reeling Rust Belt community.
