STATE SENATOR JEFF MULLIS OF CHICKAMAUGA GOT A ROUSING WELCOME FROM THE TENNESSEE LEGISLATURE, IN A VISIT THERE, WEDNESDAY.

THE TENNESSEE LAWMAKERS WELCOMED MULLIS, BECAUSE HE DID NOT SUPPORT A RESOLUTION PASSED IN THE GEORGIA LEGISLATURE – CALLING FOR A LAWSUIT IF THE NEIGHBORS TO THE NORTH WON'T GRANT ACCESS TO THE TENNESSEE RIVER.  THIRSTY ATLANTA WANTS TO PIPE THE WATER SOUTH, FOR USE IN THE PARCHED STATE CAPITOL.

MULLIS BACKS A DIFFERENT PLAN, THAT WOULD GATHER WATER FROM NORTHWEST GEORGIA TRIBUTARIES, BEFORE THEY FLOW NORTH INTO THE TENNESSEE RIVER.

MULLIS WAS INTRODUCED IN THE VISIT, BY TENNESSEE'S SENATE MAJORITY LEADER, MARK NORRIS.  THE TENNESSEE SENATORS GAVE HIM A COFFEE CUP OF WATER, TO TAKE BACK TO ATLANTA.
