Georgia trying to steal our land/water

But, if they are legislatively bound to continue their efforts to preserve this endangered species, then unfortunately I believe the choice is out of their hands. That goes all the way up to D.C.

I think they are legislatively bound to protect the mussels, but the amount of water needed to do that is subjective.

More than anything the problem is that the current water release plan has been in place since the 1970s . . . when the population of metro Atlanta was about 50% of what it currently is.

I still am having trouble understanding how the surveyors could allegedley get the 35th parallel wrong only in this one section. If it is wrong in that one spot, then it is wrong the entire length of the southern Tennessee border. Again, that would move the entire border up a mile or so.

I mean, a simple GPS survey would be able to tell them whether the border lines are correct or not.

And if Ga believes that the 35th parallel should be redrawn one mile further north, that won't just affect Marion County, that would affect our entire southern border from NC to Miss! Parts of Chattanooga would then belong to Ga! Sounthern Memphis would then have to be in Miss! If they claim that it is wrong in this one location, then that means that they are trying to move the entire sountern border up one mile!

Mississippi can have all of Memphis as far as i'm concerned.
As far as Ga. needing water are there no rivers in Ga? I always thought that Alan Jackson was full of $hit

It's probably an urban legend, but I've always heard that supposedly, the southeastern border of Tennessee where TN, NC and GA meet is wrong also. It was supposed to follow the highest point of the Smokey/Blue Ridge Mountains but at a certain point the surveyors got tired and just drew the line due south.

Well, if that line is wrong, then that means the border from the Ga state line to Memphis is wrong, also.

This could affect the entire border.

I never realized it before, but this is actually an issue that has been discussed at various times over the past 100 years. I just saw a source showing that Google Earth indicates that the southern border of Tennessee is off by about 2,000 feet in some places.

The Savannah River which would the logical place for them to get their water, is one of the most polluted rivers in the USA, thanks to the nuclear power pants discharging into the river. They have did this to themselves to a large degree.

I've lived in GA, SC, and TN, and GA taxes were the worst IMO. As was mentioned in the article, I would rather not be resident of GA of given a choice. With their high taxes, you would think all of GA's state agencies, i.e. DMV, would be first class but they are not.

I'm going to say that is false - unless you are talking about thermal pollution. Now - SRS discharges may be another story (I don't know if that is what you are referring to) - but that isn't nuclear power plant discharge/effluent.

Yes but look at the condition of the roads compared to other southern states.

It is also home to the most species of three-eyed fish...

Are you a spokesperson for NIMBY?

meanwhile, I'm going to bet that there are still people in Atlanta watering their lawns, claiming that they own a landscape company or other nonsense.

this is what happens when urban sprawl happens too quickly and outpaces the infrastructure's ability to keep up.

I will be watching this closely, and once the militia is called up will gladly return from Charlotte to the homeland to defend against this naked aggression.

Which leads to the question, "WTF is the zoning commission or people responsible for building permits thinking about?"

Don't these cities realize they limitations that they have in terms of resouces, roads, etc? Or are they just green lighting anything just for the sake of growth?

Yea, I looked it up myself. That being said, it is all relative. Having the smallest house in the country club doesn't make you poor. I grew up 3 miles from that river and "played" in it a few times. Didn't seem so polluted to me.

I lived in Savannah for 5 years as well as in SC and everyone knows you can't eat the fish you catch from that river or its source (Lake Hartwell).
