Dade County could become more than an afterthought
Tiny Dade County in northwest Georgia has always been an afterthought. They weren’t included on the state quarter, they have a sparse population, and they are essentially isolated in the corner of the state.
However, the growing fight for access to the Tennessee River is going right through Dade, because it is the Georgia county that is closest to the river.
Newsmax has a nice article that covers this whole situation pretty well. Thanks to Gary for the link!

We continue to follow your story and find it a little scary Lanier is already losing water. It’s been rainy here in Charleston and we’re building rain barrels. Phase I of this project is about to commence…hmmmm…we’ll see what happens.
Keep up the good work. Great, informative site.

Newsmax is hardly a well respected website and not known for accuracy. I haven’t read the article, though.

“You can say what you want, but in the end you know what the intent was when they drew the lines: to give Georgia access to the Tennessee River,” he says.
Doesn’t that one statement say it all?
