  1. It would be nice if the reporters for IBJ did a tiny bit more research considering that hazardous waste is not allowed to travel through the city via I70. It would be traveling around the racetrack known as 465.

    1. Accuracy in their reporting has never been their forte. Lazily quoting the same people over and over again on a given subject seems to another one of their skill sets.

    2. This is an Associated Press story – not IBJ. If you haven’t noticed, IBJ reposts a lot of stories from other [free] sources. It makes one wonder why the subscription rates keep going up.

    3. Lora is correct, the signage is at 465 for thru hazardous traffic. To You 2 Brads, the byline says it is an IBJ story.

  2. How can he object to something going to a private facility that is designed and created for these exact purposes. If he is so opposed to this waste, where was her for all the other shipments to this facility in the previous decade. Why didn’t he stop the creation of this type of facility in the first place. Sounds like it is all politics once again because he doesn’t like a decision of the current federal administration. Don’t like these materials coming to Indiana – then shut down the private business that operates it – otherwise, let private business, that has already obtained the appropriate state and federal permits operate! https://www.heritage-enviro.com/services/landfill/

    1. Besides, the facility and state have handled far worse waste. How did he only find out Monday when the media reported Sunday?

    2. I’m pretty sure this particular hazardous landfill was first permitted by Gov Evan Baye Can’t seem to spell his name right. Ha!

    3. I pretty sure the state gave a license to this facility to handle hazardous waste. Why should it surprise him that once this private business got the license, they took somebody’s money to handle the waste?

    4. Kevin P, I’m sure it was first permitted by Bayh, but that doesn’t mean he’s not aware of it or that they don’t have to have follow-up permits. Thats why I said in the last decade of all the hazardous industrial waste that has gone there. It’s not like it just appeared.

  3. A NIMBY response if I ever heard one in reaction to the right’s criticism of the way the Feds have responded. Wonder what he would say if the derailment happened in Indiana and they were shipping the waste out of state? Bet he wouldn’t lay in the road to block those shipments. Just a pathetic attempt to mollify those GOPers to his right as he’ll be running for something after November ‘24.

  4. With all the mystery train crashes and food processing plants in record numbers of late, will the next one be the truck or train wreck over the river bridge of what is hauling the hazardous waste here?

    The Biden Regime and Globalist cabal may want to get more mileage out of the Ohio crisis.
