WAYNE CO. REPUBLICANS SAY THEY'VE BEEN ORDERED TO STAY QUIET ABOUT FIRE

(Richmond, IN)--The EPA is now a full month past the time that they had said they would release the results of testing at the My Way Trading Fire site.  The Wayne County Republican Party issued a statement over the weekend saying they "have been ordered not to speak publicly about this incident by the city administration and the city’s legal team due to ongoing litigation and investigations."  It’s now been nearly four months since the fire, and there’s still no official word on the cause, although court documents filed by the plaintiffs in the civil suit called it arson.  On Friday, the city requested and was granted a 45-day extension to file a response to the lawsuit.
