As far as Georgians paying taxes so that Tennesseeans can get to "your stores (i.e. Wal-mart)," I think you've forgotten that all that does is bring money into your state (sales tax!.) Secondly, it's not like Georgians don't come to Tennessee to "our" stores. This was a comical reaction by the mayor to a rediculous piece of legislation out of the peach state. Tennessee has had the river, the land, and the border in the same place for over 100 years. The people that live along that border on the Tennessee side don't want to live in Georgia. It seems that Georgia's real problem needs to be with the states of Alabama and Florida, and with the Corps of Engineers. Hold onto your water and stop sending it down stream for some endangered fish. People are more valuable than fish anyday. Furthermore, Gov. Perdue has other options including activating a state militia to guard the water already in Georgia. Let him do that or file suite in federal court over water already there.
