State Lines and Water Rights

Just days after Toledo's nob mayor kicked Michigan based Marines out of town, reminding some of the Toledo War, Georgia's trying to fix a surveyor error and claim a bend in the Tennessee river as in it's territory.

So it can alleviate the longstanding drought. Tenn. residents are not happy; GA has higher taxes.

Here's a hint, Tennessee.. just give 'em the water.

You can google yourself for the inevitable comparisons to Berkeley, which may or may not be true.

Also a link for the likely effect on the Toledo tax surcharge, which many voters feel is their only way of showing displeasure.

 

We don't have that kind of problem, we just take NoCal's H2O (which is about the only time we claim to be in the same state as them).

 

SoCal also takes our water from Colorado. Pretty sure anyone leaving in Colorado hates SoCal, other than visiting. Sorry Joe.

 

No worries dtwondough, for as many people moving here these days just as many are leaving (know 3 people and who've moved to your neck of the woods in the last 18 months).

As far as the water is concerned, have you seen our lawns lately? we need your water. 8)

 

Riparian rights. Fun stuff.

 

... or appropriation rights out West (first come, first serve... more or less). Makes it all the more difficult to determine who gets what and why.
