This is from Gov. Shapiro’s Facebook page. “In the face of Norfolk Southern’s failures, I want you to know we are fighting back with every tool we have. Today, I stood alongside the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as they ordered Norfolk Southern to pay to clean up the mess they created. Nothing can make up for the damage already done — but what the people of Pennsylvania and Ohio deserve now is accountability. This is an important step that will give our communities confidence that they will not be on the hook to clean up a multi-billion dollar company’s mess.” I believe Gov. Shapiro is going to hold their feet to the fire. He’s doing a great job.

What power does a PA governor have to enforce anything in Ohio? Why did this announcement take so long?

Look at a map and reconsider your question.

Why it took two weeks for Shapiro to say or do anything, and what power the governor of PA has over OH is resolved by looking at a map? Wow thanks so much you’re so helpful. Great post. You should make another super informed post.

That's from your post. Look at a map. This is a border town. It takes time to assess damage done across the border, downwind, etc. Likely requiring federal intervention. And thanks to the fucking moron in Ohio refusing to reach out to the feds, it took time to get involved.
Bothering to look at a fucking map should have revealed that it was a border town.
But do go on with your snarky bullshit. I bet it will serve you well in life.
