By a six-to-one vote, the Cascade Locks City Council approved a resolution opposing Measure 14-55 on the May ballot in Hood River County that would block Nestle from establishing in a water bottling facility in the town. The strongly worded resolution alludes to a depressed economy in Cascade Locks, calling the measure a “direct threat to the City’s home rule, local control, right to self-sufficiency, and its economic future.” Deanna Busdieker cast the lone vote against the resolution. The vote came after testimony that included substantial input from tribal members opposed to the Nestle plant. Measure 14-55 would prohibit the commercial production of bottled water in Hood River County, prohibit the transport of commercially-produced bottled water collected from any water source within the county, and prohibit the transport of water for the purpose of commercially producing bottled water.
