Maine Town Passes Ordinance Asserting Local Self-Governance and Stripping Corporate Personhood
Submitted by Amanda Lang
Today the citizens of Shapleigh, Maine voted at a special town meeting to pass a groundbreaking Rights-Based Ordinance. This revolutionary ordinance give its citizens the right to local self-governance and gives rights to ecosystems but denies the rights of person hood to corporations. This ordinance allows the citizens to protect their groundwater resources, putting it in a common trust to be used for its residents.

Yay Shapleigh! This is a promising response to corporate thuggery. http://www.polarisinstitute.org/challenges_piling_up_for_poland_spring
Treebu worked for several months for Nestle Waters (which owns Poland Spring) and found out what a nasty predatory company. It treated her like - and paid her - shit, too.
Moral: Avoid buying bottled water.

I used to work at a place in Chicago called The Financial Relations Board. I think Polaris was one of their clients for PR work....
