ohio rises not getting an immediate care to over 16,000 ohio children by helping develop new services tailored to the specific needs of these children. our budget, it will allow us to connect many more families to these desperately needed services. it is giving hope back to families. in the words of one mother and i quote, ohio raise has saved my son's life. he is smiling again. has left her, there is laughter in our home and my son is healing. when i first became governor mice first act was create this children's initiative. we also quickly learned that the support we provide are strewn across departments, agencies, offices, sometimes causing duplication and inefficiencies. the issues impacting the lives are simply too important. so in our budget, i'm asking you, i am proposing the creation of an cap that level agency called the department of children and youth. [applause] this statewide agency will allow us to have a short focus on children's issues our proposed department will consolidate programs from six different state agencies and focus specifically on the following, the physic

for ohio. the time of great opportunity for ohio and its citizens. and yet, it is also a time of great challenges. our future is bright, but that future will be defined by how well we educate all our children and how we tear down the barriers to their success. we are challenged as never before because at no time in our history has the full education of our children been more important. the budget that i present to you today reflects the moral imperative we have to see that all ohioans are fully educated and therefore, every ohioan will have the tools to live up to their full god-given potential. [applause] >> our budget is fiscally sound. spending one time money on one time expenditures. averting a fiscal cliff in future years when this one-time money is gone. it's a budget that focuses on our people, on our families, and our children, for they are truly ohio's greatest assets. it reflects our obligation to make sure every ohioan has the tools to succeed, to get a good job, to live their dreams

the derailment in ohio. this is for make congressman in michigan saying in his response to east palestine, secretary pete buttigieg has been too little too late. needs to take this disaster seriously. actually do his job. frankly, get ahead of these issues in the future. this is congresswoman susan wild of pennsylvania. she is saying good, norfolk southern created this method -- mess and they should be ruth -- financially responsible for cleaning the set. ross in california texted us. disaster response -- biting didn't show up in ohio. trump was there yesterday. she can still has bad water. all of politicians going back to obama failed to correct that. this is from nbc. the pennsylvania governor. josh shapiro says that he is working with the ohio governor. shapiro says his office made a criminal referral in the ohio stranger ailment. the governor said on tuesday, it is a criminal referral in response to the stranger ailment. josh shapiro, the governor shared information out of east palestine. with mike dewin

vance from ohio.news that came out of that briefing because a lot of people had wondered who made this decision to do the off pouring of chemicals and have a controlled explosion and it was a discussion between governor dewine and governor shapiro of pennsylvania. we have a map that we can show people. this town borders pennsylvania as well. your thoughts on the decision-making process in this, senator? >> well, i think it was governor dewine, local officials on the ground, the fire department and consultation with the railroad. i'm not going to second guess the decision. they were faced with two very bad options. one to do the controlled chemical burn. the second to allow the train to explode, which would throw debris for miles. also lead to the same chemical spillage issues that we're dealing with now. the question for the future is how do we make sure the air is breathable and especially the water is drink able. we know from read-outs that we have some contaminated water in the area. the ohio river

the ohio-pennsylvania border. they have spent the last 19 days frightened and frustrated after a hazardous derailment. they have been told it is safe to breathe the air and breathe the water, but they have seen thousands of dead fish in local creeks. and many of them have felt and continue to feel ill. tonight for the first time since that disaster residents are going to have the chance to directly question the ceo of norfolk southern and the epa administrator michael reagan and their governor, mike dewine. some of the questions we have been hearing since we have been covering this story, how could this happen? is the air safe to breathe? is the water safe to drink? can the testing be trusted? we will let members of the community ask their questions in a moment. but first let's bring in cnn's jason carol also in east palestine, ohio, to bring us up to speed. jason? >> well, jake, today residents here in east palestine got a visit from former president donald trump. tomorrow transportation secretary pete buttigieg

we'll go first to our ohio line in galleon, ohio. kevin, go ahead.ler: hi, this is a question for the intoxicatologist -- toxologist. why was it that a week before the train derailment happened, the people from palestine, ohio, were saying that the government came there with biometric watches for people to wear to track their biometrics while they had -- whether they had exposure or not? and that the movie that happened, "white noise," was awful familiar that this movie happened and about six months later the train derailment happens, don't you think? and why is it the c.d.c. took off vinyl chloride and what it does to children? why did they take it off their guidelines? guest: let me try to track some of those questions. it's so interesting that you mention the newly released movie "white noise" from a novel. it's a fictional account of a community of people visited with a toxic chemical release and all trying to escape. that's one of the underpinnings to the novel. and it is even more amazing to me that one of the residents of east palestine was ac

is head of the ohio epa.the state health director. during the break i asked you all how many of you have had health issues since this incident, four of the six of you raise your hand. ben, what was the issue you had? >> thursday last week, i went down there with a news crew, they said the area is contained and cleaned. a train came through and immediately the smell of paint, their acetone, and then the three of us, even the, you know, the people from the -- that were there. eyes were burning, noses running, i had a headache the last about eight or nine hours. and later that night, i had really bad projectile vomiting. >> project of omitting. liked tell us about the story from it on your way. here >> on my way here, the tsa saw that i was from east palestine, she was, like i live in east palestine on east clark street. and this is her -- covered in hives. said she was at the hospital earlier this week. and she was probably going to leave work later today. and even if it is 100 percent not from the train derail

teachers and faculty and support professionals in ohio's schools.ry glad you're here. it might be very stunning not only the content of what is being circulated within this homeschooling organization but i was surprised to find out that under ohio law the state department of education does not review or approve a home school curriculum and that parents need in order to teach, but they need to provide 900 hours of instruction every year, notify the superintendent every year, provide assurance that the teacher has a high school diploma or other equivalency and provide an assessment of the students work including results of a nationally standardized test. do these requirements, given what we are learning from the investigation, need to get much tougher? >> they do need to get tougher. there is an inherent problem with home schooling requirements in ohio and other states that just allow for a almost completely unregulated system to move forward. the problem is that local school districts that receive these reports are letters from families indicating th

east paalestino, ohio s not a huge place. it's about 5,000 people and east palestine was the place that produced dishes and cups and pitchers for america's hotels and enormous ceramics works there employed much of the town and it's all gone and the town is much poorer for it and the median income is lass than $45,000. east palestine is overwhelmingly white and politically conservative. more than 70% of the voters in the surrounding counties supported donald trump in the last election. that shouldn't be relevant but you're about to hear, it very much is. 11 days ago, 150 car train derailed in east palestine and it spewed poisonous chemicals onto the ground and in the surface waters. after the crash, the ohio state epa found evidence of yabbial acura late in the water and streams and creeks that feed it. this was more of a concern for east palestine given the ohio river supplies drinking water to about a tenth of the u.s. population. this train derailment was a environmental disaster. not an environmental disaster like climate

when we met earlier this week, the ohio epa discussed the chemical plume in the ohio river. i'm happy to report this morning that sampleing has shown the plume is completely dissipated. it was never thought to be a threat but they could get slight detections. i want to mention that something i learned during this is the ohio river is monitored normally very extensively. and so they were able to pick up before they were able to pick up where the plume was, it was never thought to be very high. never thought to be very dangerous, but they could detect it as it moved down river. now we're told that they cannot detect it at all. to give you some idea of the numbers. the level of concern for this contaminant is 560 parts per billion. readings yesterday when we could still get a reading on it were under three parts per billion. so again, level of concern 560. yesterday at three. today it is at 0. levels at which this chemical was in the ohio river have always been very low. we no longer getting readings at all. i'm told that some water systems al along the ohio river will close in

he has been a no-show in ohio.the american people are right to be upset about this they demand answers. they demand a presence by this administration. a lot of these folks who claim to be environmentalist, they don't care about the environment. they care about climate alarmism to gather more and more power. the biden administration, pete buttigieg has absolutely failed on this ohio environmental disaster. stuart: here is a headline that caught my attention, there he goes, pete buttigieg fails the woody allen test. joe concha wrote that and joe joins me now. what is the woody allen test? >> the woody allen test is about what we heard about that sound bite about no-shows. he once famously said, woody allen did 90 percent of success in life is just showing up, right? here we had, stu, a 50-car train derailment on february third, 2 1/2 weeks ago in east palestine. it resulted in four kinds of cancer causing chemicals to be released into the air. what are we seeing out of the transportation secretary? he didn't even mak

and in the state of ohio right now, home school families get a $250 tax credit from the people of ohiolegislation that's been introduced by members of the general assembly that would increase that to $2,000. i will say, for one, as a taxpayer, i don't want to subsidize people that are going to be teaching hateful ideology to children. >> and yet, i'm glad you mentioned that tax credit. and 250 is nothing to sneeze at. but in the long run, would it be, i wonder, if you were to remove that tax credit, would that be enough of an incentive to teach according to a more regulated system in the home school environment. but i do know what you mentioned that there has been swift condemnation from teachers in ohio, but yet, there's not been an agreement on how and what to do about this. i think it speaks to a larger issue in a world where we're talking about parental involvement in schools, the idea of how could you possibly regulate what a parent wants to teach at home. is there some sort of a solution that you think right now is on the immediate horizon to address this, even outside of the tax

i don't want to see ukraine flags in ohio anymore. the government gave ukraine money for weapons instead of using it to fix or train tracks and trains. now we have one of the worst disasters in the history of our country. reporter on the ground in east palestine says the entire town smells like chemicals. instead of sending the next 1000000000 to ukraine, we should send it to ohio. it's been nearly 2 weeks, and mayor pete has yet to go to east palestine, ohio. perhaps they should consider changing the name of their town to ukraine if they want to bite and regime to pay better attention. train derailment in ohio while another $10000000000.00 goes to military contractors for ukraine, money laundering, and our feeling so lonely. u. s. has seen 5 chemical emergencies on thursday and trained carry hazardous materials derailed in mid june. that's our love from a firing ghost of plastics warehouse in florida and quickly sweat of us. several acres of lands y campus, our former u. s. congressional candidate, tricia flanagan says these emergenc

now, toxic chemicals from ohio's trained derailment could poison the area for years. at this given moment, do you have faith that if area is in fact poison that the clean up effort is one that the government or the local authorities are capable of doing in a way where the community feels invested involved and protected. it's a very good question, i think just until recently that was very much up in the air and more towards the negative. i think just in a couple of days there's been a lot more of a response today. there was actually a pretty positive conference where everybody but basically just gave on, on the other and from federal e p, a to state also pennsylvania governor. so i think that's something where people are, there's a lot more eyes on this. hopefully there's more independent testing and they said that they're going to be watching the clean up and apparently it's not done properly. they're going to step in charge them triplicate of that and do it the right way. which sounds great, but i know just the slow pace of our legal system and things like that. i'm

we know that this particular train in ohio didn't have the modern braking system. i'm you through or drilled it since october or the 3rd derailment is hearing from been there since october. great. you know, high or low. yeah. and you know, earth justice having filed the lawsuit with the department of transportation back in 2018 about this issue of modern braking systems. in part, i mean i understand that they responded to you and you had appealed and now you just heard back. anything you can share with us about what, what, what you know? well, what we do know is that in the immediate aftermath of this, we revisited our, our request that the department of transportation strengthen its rules about trained braking systems. we've heard back that they are going to consider that request and they're evaluating those options. people also announced a $33.00 part plan, but unfortunately, one part of that plan is voluntary requests for the train industry to do some more . another part of that request is to ask congress to pass some legislation. and one of the things that we s
