ROMULUS, Mich. — Republican leaders and residents are demanding answers on why hazardous materials were set to be transported from East Palestine, Ohio, to Michigan without public input or warning.
About 50 people gathered at a Republic Services' site in Romulus Sunday afternoon, questioning plans to send substantial amounts of waste to privately-owned facilities in Van Buren Township and Romulus.
Michigan Republican Party Chairwoman Kristina Karamo was at the protest, along with residents, holding flags and sharing concerns.
