In Ohio, a judge denied a request by residents of East Palestine to have more time and information before a deadline tomorrow to accept a $600 million class-action settlement with Norfolk Southern over last year’s train derailment. Residents near the site of the disaster can also claim up to $25,000 per person for personal injuries as part of the deal. But accepting the money means they will give up their right to sue in the future if residents develop cancer or other serious illnesses due to chemical exposure. Earlier this month, the Associated Press revealed clean-up workers in East Palestine became sick with headaches and nausea, but their health conditions were kept hidden from the public.
