<Gov. Mitt Romney and U.S. Sen. John Kerry toured the site of yesterday’s devastating chemical plant explosion in Danvers and vowed to assist residents and businesses in the cleanup - with Kerry urging Romney to seek federal aid.
“I’ve seen some pretty tough sights,” including the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001, Romney said after touring the destroyed plant and damaged houses and shops yesterday afternoon. “But in a residential neighborhood, for a man-made source rather than a hurricane or tornado, this is a pretty devastating sight.”
Romney said the state would evaluate what assistance was available, but Kerry, who toured the site a few hours later, sent his possible 2008 presidential race rival a letter yesterday demanding immediate action.
“As you know, the plant explosion is reported to have either leveled or severely damaged nearly 75 homes and destroyed multiple businesses, leaving the area surrounding the plant in a state of severe economic and physical distress,” Kerry wrote, asking Romney to join in an immediate call for federal disaster declarations for residents and businesses.
Romney said he would seek federal relief, if it is warranted and available, as soon as state and federal officials determine the need.
“The need’s here, if they can be met by the state, they will be,” Romney said. “If it’s beyond the capacity of the state, then we will go to the federal government. That’s something we will assess as we get a more complete review of what has happened here exactly.”>
