Bravo to Michigan Citizens for Water Conservation, the only group openly challenging the City of Evart's desire to turn over part of its municipal water well field to Nestle Corporation in a dangerous privatization scheme of a public water supply. In a letter to Michigan's Department of Environmental Quality yesterday, MCWC attorney Jim Olson says the state's blessing to the City could lead to an "unforeseen disastrous precedent" for the people of the state and their environment.
Amen. So why isn't there more of an outcry?
