That’s an interesting trheory that bills has, but it doesn’t seem to have any basis in reality. I checked the addresses against the FEC donor database. Didn’t find any of those addresses, but the four zip codes 30066, 67, 67, 127 tend to go 60/40 for Republicans, at least as far as donations go. I’m not able to get at my voter db right now, but I’d be willing to bet that if you looked up the precincts involved, they all probably went heavily Bush in the last election.

Please, if you’ve got real empirical data instead of spittle flecked rage, let us in on your research.

It is wealthy democrats that are using all the water. You know, they have these partys with ice sculptures and flying around to their global warming meetings, most of them are lawyers, entertainers, politicians, that is people that don’t do any honest work. Check these names against the voter registration logs!

I accidentally had Paper Mill spelled as one word on one of the addresses so it wouldn’t map correctly on Evan’s map. When you change Papermill to Paper Mill it works.

I don’t see why their water isn’t cut off completely. If they have such disregard for other people in the area that they will abuse water in the shortage, they (in my opinion) have giving up their rights to the water.

Yeah, we had a leak suddenly appear overnight in our underground sprinkler system in the fall of 2006, and even though we caught it within several hours (we didn’t realize what had happened until we got up that morning) it still resulted in a very large puddle and our water usage skyrocketing from 3,000 gallons per month to over 15,000.

Of course, our sprinkler system is completely shut off now, so that can’t happen again. But that’s just a little 3-zone system watering roughly 0.2 acres of our 0.4 acre lot. Not a very big pipe.

You’re telling me there’s a bigger individual user than Chris George? Who is this Theodore Brande character?
