US Representative Greg Landsman is scheduled to hold a town hall meeting on Saturday, March 18. The public meeting will be held from 2 to 3 p.m. at Third Presbyterian Church in East Westwood. Landsman, a Democrat from Ohio, defeated longtime Republican congressman Steve Chabot in Ohio’s 1st congressional district race in November. On March 15, Landsman introduced his first bill in Congress, aimed at capping the cost of insulin for children. The bill, titled Making Insulin Affordable for All Children Act, would cap costs for those 26 or younger and covered by private health plans or Medicaid at $35 per month for their insulin products. “Insulin is a life-saving drug, but every day in our country, families are forced to make drastic financial decisions just to ensure their child with diabetes has what they need to survive,” Landsman said in a press release. “No family should be forced into bankruptcy or deprived of care because of the exorbitant cost of insulin every month. Parents need relief and children deserve the health care they need to live their lives. like any child should. Last year, Congress did a lot for seniors by ensuring that people on Medicare had their monthly insulin costs capped at $35 a month, and it’s time we let’s do the same for our children. I’ve seen with my own eyes what the exorbitant cost of insulin is doing to families in Southwest Ohio, and I’m honored to fight for Isaiah Gentry and children like him anywhere in America. The full bill can be read by clicking here. On Friday, Landsman announced he was joining other Ohio officials in calling for more action to prevent future train derailments. A new measurement known as “Ra he Act” would increase inspections on trains and add more penalties for violations. It comes as the Environmental Protection Agency said the cleanup of eastern Palestine could take at least another three months. About half of the contaminated soil under the track has been removed. The EPA administrator said he believed Norfolk Southern could work faster. According to the Ohio EPA, approximately 6.85 million gallons of liquid sewage were transported out of eastern Palestine in total. There is currently a pile of about 26,500 tons of excavated earth waiting to be removed from Eastern Palestine compared to 5,400 tons that have been removed.
