1. Congratulations to Michigan Citizens for Water Conservation and its members for raising public consciousness on this issue and holding the feet of politicians to the fire on the exporting of Great Lakes water. Without MCWC's courageous efforts against long odds, Michigan would have turned its future and the fate of the Great Lakes over to greedy special interests that do not have the interests of the people at heart. This grassroots organization should be proud even though there's a long battle ahead.
2. “We have questions about how Nestle’s compliance with the restrictions on the Evart project will be monitored and enforced,” said David Holtz, Michigan Director of Clean Water Action. “Years of budget cuts have handcuffed the DEQ’s enforcement abilities. But if compliance can be assured, this agreement respects the principle that the Great Lakes waters must not be captured and sold for private profit outside the watershed of this world-class ecosystem.”
