Having attended hours of Nestle presentations, I have concluded in agreement with Birte Nellessen (v. “Climate change impacts water”, the Mountain Mail April 15 2009) “…we are not even sure of the present state of our precious water resource. Do we really want a large corporation running off with any of it?”
Add to this the deliberate tactic of Nestle to present information for hours to ensure that the public (including the Commissioner) gets tired, bored or in the case of interested citizens have other pressing engagements and can’t stay around to pass their views onto the commissioners.
Compound this with the projection that the only jobs Nestle will add to Chaffee County will be the bevy of lawyers employed to fight the county when we want to turn off the spigot. To back this argument, I think it is the responsibility of the Commissioners to read the Wikipedia article on Nestle. Then they must ask themselves whether they think they are smart enough to deal with and think it a cool idea to introduce this multi-headed hydra into our bucolic valley.
Do we need such a group of schemers in our “Garden of Eden”? I think not and urge the commissioners to see this as the “no brainer that it is”. That is, Nestle will never be a “good neighbor” and add nothing of any substantial value to Chaffee County. So Commissioners, suck it up and say bye bye to Nestle.
