Nestle gets control of town’s groundwater for up to 45 years
Submitted by IWB, on May 14th, 2016
Nestlé has secured the rights to the groundwater under the Maine town of Fryeburg for up to 45 years, thanks to the efforts of the state’s Tea Party Republican Governor Paul LePage.
Maine’s Supreme Judicial Court quashed activists’ efforts to appeal the deal by ruling in favor of Nestle on Thursday.
The advocacy organization Food and Water Watch along with local resident Bruce Taylor appealed the 2014 decision, claiming the long contract is outside the authority of the water district and highlighting the fact that three commissioners had to recuse themselves due to ties with Nestlé.

@Governor_LePage of Maine just helped @Nestle gain control of Fryeburg's water supply. Corruption at its finest. http://usuncut.com/news/nestle-water-deal-fryeburg-maine/ …
