The Georgia Legislature is again trying to gain access to water in the Tennessee River, just North of Dade County. The House passed a resolution this week, seeking a small strip of TVA owned land, in order to access NIckajack Lake. It's sponsored by a representative from Metro Atlanta, which is thirsty for a new source of water.

In the past, Tennessee Government has shrugged off Georgia's attempts to change the border. It was drawn incorrectly by an 1818 survey, which passed the 35th parallel by about a mile. Had that survey been accurate, Georgia would have rightfully had access to the mighty Tennessee River, and most of East Ridge would be in the Peach State.
