I love the mayor of Chattanooga's response to our petty water kleptomanism--I just hope he fights whatever my city tries to do to TN. Since we failed with AL and FL, it's sad to see us bullying TN now.

Conservation has been ignored and ridiculed. Now that a drought has brought the shortcomings of the "develop everything now" philosophy to the forefront, the elected officials have decided to go after Tennessee's water. Slowing development is not an option for these "leaders." It goes without saying who financed their election campaigns.
