PalmBeachPost.comOCEAN RIDGE — The envelope mailed to the Ocean Ridge home of Vice President Joe Biden's younger brother, which contained a suspicious white powder and caused a hazmat emergency Saturday, was apparently mailed from India.
Francis Biden, 57, said this morning that the package - a manila envelope - was retrieved from his roadside mailbox at about noon by his girlfriend, Mindy. It was addressed to him.
"She retrieved it, but I was the one who opened it," Biden said, declining to give Mindy's last name. "It was mailed from India."
Biden said the moment he opened it, a white powder spilled from the envelope and onto his skin. He said he immediately called authorities, who evacuated neighbors from his block and closed off the street for more than eight hours. The neighbors were eventually let back into their homes at about 9 p.m.

He was kept in the hospital overnight then released.
I found it interesting that the article mentions that Joe Biden's brother runs tuition-free charter schools around Florida. The schools accept students who have either dropped out of school or are in danger of dropping out.
