The Times - Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley

Dear Editor,

What is really happening with Nestle and our spring water? I plan to go to the Waitsburg City Council meeting Wednesday night, July 20, for more information. I am hoping that the Mayor and the City Manager are willing to schedule a public meeting devoted to the pros and cons of this issue before City Council has to decide whether or not to allow Nestle access to our water.

Nestle, a multi-national corporation, is only responsible to its shareholders. Our city government (which should be as transparent as a plastic water bottle) is responsible to the citizens of Waitsburg, and I hope that City Hall puts our interests ahead of Nestle’s.
