They are saying we have 80 days of drinking water left. It took FOUR years to fill the lake up after they built the dam in the 50’s, with the dam fully closed and “normal” weather!

One of the big reasons we are being bled dry is to protect some endangered mussels in Florida/Alabama as mandated by Federal Environmental Law.

The officer in charge of
the Mobile District which include Lake Lanier is one Col. Byron Jorns. Looks like
a pretty good career officer.

His last command before this one was commander of the Nashville District where he
was personally named in a lawsuit by an environmental group:

Don’t know how it was resolved.

My guess is that he won’t stop sending water to the mussels without a change
in the law or a presidential pardon! He needs a “get out of jail free”
letter. President Bush, Help!

Well, in about 90 days the Endangered Species Act won't apply to the situation, will it?
