Do you guys always run corporate spin and PR as news? Nestle was so "concerned" for the environment that they didn't even bother to run flow studies prior to signing their first contract (without public input) with the McCloud Services District. They're leaving because the bottled water market - especially for premium water brands like Arrowhead - is falling fast, and they can get the water they need in Sacramento and transport it far more cheaply than they can from a tiny town in the mountains of Northern California. And they're leaving because a committed group of locals made the project a PR nightmare for the Swiss multinational. Little that Nestle has done throughout their process in McCloud speaks to environmental concerns; everything they've done has focused on the bottom line, and they leave behind a town that's been bitterly divided by Nestle's divisive rhetoric. Nestle's not leaving over environmental concerns. A declining market? Determined opposition? Yes. Wow. Do you guys always run corporate spin and PR as news?
