The Chicago Tribune reports that the BP refinery in Whiting, Indiana has received a break from state environmental laws, allowing it to increase the amount of ammonia and sludge released into Lake Michigan. That's 54% more ammonia and 35% more sludge per day. Why are they being released from state laws?
