Groups fighting a Nestlé water-bottling plant in Sacramento are bringing a documentary about the bottled water industry to the Crest Theatre Wednesday night. Save Our Water Sacramento and the Alliance for Democracy's Defending Water for Life campaign are hosting two screenings of "Tapped," a 76-minute film examining the industry and the question of whether access to water is a human right or a commodity that should be bought and sold. "We felt that now is an important time to bring that kind...

Are goverment is retarted and so are the people in Sacramento. i'm not sure how libs or conservs can keep voteing us down the drain america needs to wake up before its 2 late. www.infowars.com this explains why amaerican voters are so stupid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VebOTc-7shU F99 2009-11-03T04:31:43Z F99 comment-17102 2009-11-03T04:15:39Z 2009-11-03T04:15:39Z Sacramento has no new jobs they need every job they can get. I seem to recall Sacramento laying off alot of cops and goverment employes because there broke. Sacramento has been loesing more jobs in that area faster then most of the country. So its either allow this to happen or keep bitching and have nothing creating jobs in Sacramento at least a few people would be able to get off unemployment and get a decent wage and REALLY good health insurance. It would create way more jobs then you think do you even know how many employs work at some of these plants there not small. plus people would gain jobs by bringing materials in and out of the place how much freight do you think they could create for truck drivers and diffrent materials needed to run this place. heck need maitnence workers, general labors, osha certified forklift operators , cleaning crews, mangement, office, computer operators. Keep bitching and wondering why all are jobs are going to CHINA thanxs to bill clinton for removing all tariffs and trade restrictions from that country. both bush and obama support free trade with CHINA and so does every one in congress except maybe 2 or 3 people were screwed...

It is all about the Cash... Who is monitering the group that made the film? Where does their money come from? What is their carbon foot print? My point is that if they are going to make money off of killing jobs in our region who is willing to step in and fill the gap? This deal was legal and above board (http://www.sacto.org/index.cfm/sacto_news/press_releases/nestle-waters-north-america-selects-city-of-sacramento-for-new-facility/) and all the elected officials and local goverment was in favor of it. I wish our elected officials would grow a pair, I am sick of seeing knee jerk reactions that cause our region to loss even more jobs. California is a tough place to make a $ these days.

Maybe you could explain what you mean, Reno.

This is a bad deal for Sacramento. beerzie 2009-10-22T12:57:57Z beerzie comment-16029 2009-10-22T12:58:34Z 2009-10-22T12:58:34Z A handful of low-paying jobs at any price? No thanks, trapper. The Nestle deal is a bad one. beerzie 2009-10-22T12:58:34Z TAB comment-16028 2009-10-22T09:11:40Z 2009-10-22T09:11:40Z very well put bbbbmer.

They are a major problem!

This is crazy! Reno 2009-10-22T02:38:58Z smallbizowner comment-15986 2009-10-22T00:46:26Z 2009-10-22T00:46:26Z Keep chasing away jobs and taxes!

Keep bitchin soon there will be no jobs for anyone smallbizowner 2009-10-22T00:46:26Z smallbizowner comment-15985 2009-10-22T00:40:12Z 2009-10-22T00:40:12Z Soon there will no jobs higher taxes and a state broke. Why not b....h about what your elected officals are doing to us! smallbizowner 2009-10-22T00:40:12Z bbbbmer comment-15965 2009-10-21T18:27:42Z 2009-10-21T18:27:42Z Surely we can be more creative in the effort to build a job base SUSTAINABLY rather than selling off our precious water supply to this firm that has the record it does... Our city adopted a sustainability ordinance some time ago, and this Nestle deal flies in the face of it, and if its history is any predicate, the jobs promised -- between 15 and 40 -- not only aren't all that much, but they probably won't materialize. I'd suggest learning something about Nestle's practices by seeing this documentary tonight at the Crest, as well as viewing the documentary FLOW: FOR THE LOVE OF WATER to get a grasp on just how insidiously corrupt Nestle is, along with learning something about sustainable economics, before launching to such conclusions... which in and of themselves, are not sustainable... bbbbmer 2009-10-21T18:27:42Z The Parrhesiac comment-15956 2009-10-21T23:22:48Z 2009-10-21T23:22:48Z I hope that the coordinators of this event sent invitations to the city council. It will be interesting to see which of the slime balls will show up. I know Tretheway, the biggest slime on the Council will not be at the showing, he will be at a candidates forum for District 1. The forum will be held at 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Oct. 21 at the South Natomas Community Center located at 2921 Truxel Road The Parrhesiac 2009-10-21T23:22:48Z trapper comment-15954 2009-10-21T17:01:20Z 2009-10-21T17:01:20Z Yeah, let's chase away even more jobs when people need them the most... oh, and lets not forget about tax dollars that the City and County will also not see. I guess we as a community have not hurt enough from the lose of jobs and tax dollars yet? trapper 2009-10-21T17:01:20Z waldorfandstatler comment-15944 2009-10-21T15:25:25Z 2009-10-21T15:25:25Z this needs to be reposted, retweeted, re-everything - nestle are scumbags. http://www.babymilkaction.org/pages/boycott.html waldorfandstatler 2009-10-21T15:25:25Z bbbbmer comment-15940 2009-10-21T13:58:21Z 2009-10-21T13:58:21Z I'll be there tonight.... bbbbmer 2009-10-21T13:58:21Z
