GEORGIA'S WATER CRISIS

Thirst for land goes over the line

Tennessee temptation: Drought-stricken Peach State can't claim river region without uphill battle.

Some Georgia legislators are trying to fix a problem caused by an inaccurate land survey from 1818 that improperly marked the Tennessee-Georgia border south of where it should be.

The legislators' resolution would establish Georgia's northern boundary about a mile north into what is now Tennessee and give Georgia access to the Tennessee River. If that happens: No more water shortage.

Theoretically, the shift would also envelop towns like East Ridge, taking them from Tennessee and relocating them into border states including Georgia.

1. That's right Tennessee! Our idiot governor and stupid GOP legislature says Bring It On!

I really didn't think Sonny Bubba could embarrass us anymore than his praying for rain stunt last year, but every time I think that he proves me wrong.

2. I always thought this was going to be a problem for the SouthWEST, not us.

Shows what happens when you think like a Republican. :shrug:
