Published: Feb. 17, 2023, 11:57 p.m.

The weeks since the disastrous derailment of a Norfolk Southern freight train carrying toxic chemicals have seen a flurry of lawsuits from residents and business owners in and around East Palestine, Ohio. On this week\u2019s Pro Say, we\u2019re joined by Ohio courts reporter Eric Heisig, who breaks down the legal blowback as well as what\u2019s likely to come as we learn more about what exactly went awry and what it means for the region. Also on the show, we dig into Alec Baldwin\u2019s efforts to get a special prosecutor booted from New Mexico\u2019s case against him over the \u201cRust\u201d shooting; the resignation of the Federal Trade Commission\u2019s lone Republican member; and a clerk of court fired over a butt dial.
