Georgians want access to Tenn. water
In 1993, Joel J. Kyle and his wife, Juanita, moved just over the Georgia border to Tennessee — and Joel Kyle vowed never to cross it again.
Now, some Georgia lawmakers want the border to cross him, in a manner of speaking.
A resolution in Georgia's legislature proposes to move the Tennessee-Georgia boundary about a mile to the north of where it now lies, which could put Kyle right back into the state he left 15 years ago.
The proposal elicited instant ridicule from residents of the area on Thursday, as well as tongue-in-cheek saber rattling from Tennessee lawmakers.
One state senator offered to settle the issue with a football game. Another suggested floating an armada of University of Tennessee fans down the Tennessee River to defend the state's territory.
But behind the amusement is a serious issue that has bedeviled the Southeast: access to water. If the border is redrawn, the new state line would fall across Nickajack Reservoir. That would allow parched Georgians to tap into the waters of the dammed Tennessee River.
Typical. Blame your own problems on someone else. :whatever: :censored:
What're their DUmp names?

This could get interesting. :-)

The Army Corps of idiots should have watched the damn water levels at Lanier. When told about it they arrogantly stated, "We know what we're doing". Now, they're finally admitting the mistake and Atlanta is trying to tap into MY water supply at Clark's Hill Lake and the Savannah River.
