New Jersey announced a $225 million settlement with Exxon Mobil on Thursday that state officials say is the largest environmental settlement in state history - though it has been criticized by Democratic lawmakers who say it is for a mere fraction of the nearly $9 billion initially sought. Acting Attorney General John J. Hoffman said the settlement over refinery sites in Linden and Bayonne is separate from Exxon Mobil's obligation to clean up the sites at its own expense.
