the_archfiendKeep in mind this is old news from 2007, not that it's any less relevant in 2010.
Apparently, Mitch Daniels and the environmental regulators who work for him want to go down in history as a bunch of guys the citizens of three neighboring states really, really have no reason to like.
This part from the quoted Tribune article is especially suspect (emphasis mine):
In the last four months, more than 40 people e-mailed comments to Indiana officials about BP's water permit. One of the few supportive messages came from Kay Nelson, environmental director of the Northwest Indiana Forum, an economic development organization that includes a BP executive among its board of directors. She hailed the company's discussions with state and community leaders as a model for others to follow.
Aren't you looking forward to the increased environmental degradation and health problems this will cause down the road in the name of economic development?
Good old BP. Always making friends. Just not with people who don't have large amounts of money or clout.
