EAST PALESTINE, Ohio — The leaves are changing in East Palestine; for Sherree Zamary, that means the harvest is drawing to a close in the Threshold Residential Services community garden just off Market Street.
The change in seasons here also marks the passage of time since Feb. 3, when the train derailment and fire put this community in the national spotlight and brought swift and immediate bi-partisan calls from Washington to do something to ensure this doesn’t happen again. “We plan to have that bill on the floor next week,” Senator Brown said during a June visit. But more than four months later, it still sits in committee as attention these days is focused on Israel, the fight for a speaker in Washington and the looming government shutdown. Sherree said that worries her.
“I still feel we're going to get a vote on Railway Safety,” Vance told News 5. “Is it going to happen tomorrow? Probably not, but will it happen eventually? Yes, because I think there is strong bipartisan support for the idea that we have way too many train crashes in this country. We've got to change that.”
