This article from The Consumerist sheads light on Nestle's attempt to take water from the state of Florida and not give back to the state in any way shape or form.
Nestle got a permit to take water belonging to Floridians — hundreds of millions of gallons a year from a spring in a state park — at no cost to Nestle. No taxes. No fees. Just a $230 permit to pump water until 2018. Nestle bottles that water, ships it throughout the Southeast — much of it to Georgia and the Carolinas — and makes millions upon millions of dollars in profits on it. Although Nestle had promised to create over 300 jobs for the region, the number has dropped to 205 late last year, 46 of them aren't even from the state of Florida! A Nestle spokeswoman was quoted "Treat us like any other user," he said. "People do not take bottled water and wash their dog. They do not wash their car with it. They drink it. That's the highest and best use of water."
Jeb Bush, who was governor at the time, did not respond to questions about Nestle's Madison County operations. As an added incentive for Nestle, the state approved a tax refund of up to $1.68-million for the Madison bottling operation. To date, Nestle has received two refunds totaling $196,000 and requested a third tax refund.
