Sacramento Press / Mayor in favor of Nestlé water bottling plant:
"Nestlé water bottling plant
Johnson praised Nestlé’s plan to set up a plant to bottle and sell water from the American River, saying the plant will create jobs.
“I knew that this would bring about 40 to 60 jobs in our community and that’s a good thing,” he said.
Johnson also said he wished he could have been more involved in the process of bringing the plant to Sacramento, but noted that the city manager’s office has jurisdiction on the issue.
But Councilmembers Kevin McCarty and Lauren Hammond disagree. They said they want the City Council to get involved in the issue. McCarty has called Nestlé’s plan “a sweetheart deal.”"
