Oil Train Safety Subject Of Meeting
Area residents got to share their thoughts and opinions yesterday with state lawmakers working on a bill that would regulate an expected boom in trains carrying crude oil across the state.
The focus of the session at Spokane City Hall was legislation co-sponsored by state Sen. Michael Baumgartner, R-Spokane, that would require companies to disclose the amount and type of crude oil they’re shipping.
The Spokesman-Review was there and has reaction to the meeting.
