Nader demands closure of Ohio hazardous waste incinerator
Green Party candidate Ralph Nader toured eastern Ohio calling for the shutdown of the Von Roll WTI plant on the Ohio River near the West Virginia border. He accused operator negligence and said Vice President Al Gore had failed to block the incinerator’s opening despite a 1992 pledge. Gore aides countered the claim as a political ploy as Nader pressed stops in Youngstown and suburban Cleveland after East Liverpool.
