Federal Government

The federal government today is proposing that railroads traveling through Michigan, and across the country, automatically inform first responders of all cargo on board a train, whenever there’s a derailment.

2022 ended a few weeks ago. That’s the year the EPA promised to set drinking water standards on toxic PFAS chemicals. Now, more than 100 groups are urging the Biden administration to release the standards without any more delay.
