Judith Enck, a former regional administrator at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under the Obama administration, joined Errol Louis on "Inside City Hall" Thursday to discuss how she thinks officials should respond to the situation in East Palestine, Ohio, where a train carrying toxic chemicals derailed earlier this month, threatening the safety of residents. 

Enck also discussed how New York could prevent similar catastrophes here, something Gov. Kathy Hochul began publicly speaking about Thursday.

She is currently the president of Beyond Plastics, an organization with a mission to end plastic pollution.
