According to Muchmore, uncertainties surrounding Michigan's regulatory environment had caused the company to look at sites in states other than Michigan for a location for its proposed bottling plant. With the restrictions removed, Michigan is now on an equal playing field with other possible locations.
Translation: According to Muchmore, Michigan's 21-year-old ban on diverting Great Lakes water was a major impediment to Nestle's plans to bottle the Great Lakes and sell them. Now that the ban has been rescinded for diversions in containers under 5.7 gallons, Michigan can look forward to a future of "water out, (Canadian) trash in."
For "as many as" 200 jobs, Michigan sells its priceless heritage and its soul.
