This is a blow to the work so many people in Northwest Indiana are trying to accomplish in preserving the lakefront.
Once again, Northwest Indiana is caught in the middle between the City of Chicago and the State of Indiana. Chicago's Mayor Daley is against the dumping, but since it occuring across the state line (albeit by mere miles), he can't use his political clout. Down in Indianapolis, politicians are looking at the finanical gains but not the environmental realities.
I'm sure Steve and I will be following this story. As one local letter writer wrote today in the Northwest Indiana times, would BP officials dump this much waste in the River Thames?
