Episode Details

Amazon’s new power plant next to a playground in Ohio has sparked local outrage as officials are denied access to safety plans, citing trade secrets — even though they’re responsible for protecting residents and first responders. A law passed last year shifted approval power from towns to the state, leaving local fire chiefs and trustees feeling sidelined and unable to assure their communities they’re safe. With a park and homes nearby, they’re demanding site maps and air monitoring — which the company says isn’t required by permit — but won’t share documents. Now, they’re pushing lawmakers to fix the law so first responders can review plans, not just hope for the best.
