It's stuff like this that just makes me want to say, &%^&*^#%^^$!!!!!
Again, a single corporation is able to pump as much water it wants out of the areas aquifer, affecting more than a hundred thousand people for the next few years, for the grand sum of $230?!! Why didn't they meter it? It'd been a sweet source of revenue for the county. All this is happening in the midst of drought conditions. Quite a privileged deal for the corporation, far greater than I think any citizen could expect.
So the company basically gets all the water it wants for free, while the actual living breathing human beings are charged? Are there water restrictions in effect for the citizens? Are we are so programmed so as to complacently step back and don't even bother our minds about this outrageous injustice? Why does this corporation have such a privileged status compared to the citizens of the area? Do you know Nestle is not an American company? It's Swiss. So a foreign corporation is given privileged status over American citizens.
Nestle makes millions a year selling Madison's water. Madison should at least get a cut of that. Else Nestle is totally disrespecting the citizens of Madison. No doubt Nestle thinks you're just a bunch of stupid hicks and rubes.
