"How Clean Are Indiana's Waterways?"

"About a mile south of Lucas Oil Stadium in Downtown Indianapolis, Tony Chao stood fishing one recent morning on the bank of the White River."



"A few feet behind his back, a sign warned not to wade into the water. Too much raw sewage in there. A sign to his left warned 'not all fish are safe to eat.' Some have too many toxins in their meat.

When asked whether he actually eats what he catches, Chao, 55, gave a look that might best be described as 'are you serious?'"

Ryan Sabalow reports for the Indianapolis Star June 2, 2012.
