Reply to comment by HeyImGilly in PA Gov Shapiro Critical of Norfolk Southern Train Derailment by hahahoudini

I don’t know why you’re being downvoted. Being critical doesn’t mean dick if you don’t do anything to 1. Help those affected and 2. Prevent it next time. This isn’t a situation you can take your time with.

This happened in Ohio and he is the governor of PA. What are his options? Not trying to gotcha you or anything, but is there much he has the power to do besides use his mini bully pulpit?

The accident was so close to the border that it may have caused air and water pollution in PA.

I’m not really sure what kind of powers a gov has when a “disaster” directly affects their state. But if all he can do is be critical then this article is useless haha
