Council drinks high-end bottled water at breakfast

Wednesday morning’s D.C. Council breakfast with the mayor featured your typical buffet spread with one snazzy feature: pricey Voss brand bottled water, which sells for a few bucks per bottle. Is this part of the council’s effort to be more civil to one another?

According to a quick Google search Voss sells 24-packs of the 12-ounce bottles for $41. There were at least 40 bottles on the table (they looked like 12-ounce to this reporter’s eyes) making that at least $100-worth of bottled water on the table for breakfast. And Voss isn’t American-made, either — it hails from Norway.
