Grand Rapids Press letter to the editor:
Lame water proposal
It is great to see extensive, front page reporting of Nestle/Ice Mountain's spring water mining operations in overwhelmed Evart ("Town hopes for mountain of goodwill," Press, March 6).
The residents of Evart will be happy to learn that a multinational corporation wants to pay less than they are for their own water, and then sell this same water at many times more than what was paid for it!
Why are the leaders of Evart not entrepreneurial enough to bottle and sell their water themselves, but only within the Great Lakes water basin, to make significant profits to benefit their own taxpaying residents? Are we now a desperate, Third World state? Hoodwinked and lame.
