I would like to see a city and city staff spending time soliciting and creating responsible businesses rather than responding to a solicitation from an international company with a terrible track record for both employees and the environment.  Nestle is not the answer to small town Oregon.  We have not tried hard enough to go to this last resort, and why should Nestle be a last resort?  Are we that desperate to start selling our water? Our state and people in it have enough creativity, talent and skills to come up with other solutions.  It takes working together and talking about it at length.  Support local businesses!  Think outside the water bottle Cascade Locks!
