OT: GA governor now allowing pools filled, outdoor restriction eased. This is betrayal!

[beachmom]

I hope you guys will let me rant for a minute here.

My dumbass governor has ZERO POLITICAL WILL to do the right thing!! He is going to allow outdoor pools to be filled and ease water restrictions.

He will allow THREE TIMES A WEEK watering of the lawn starting April 1st and for swimming pools to be filled. FLORIDA where my Mom lives has a permanent restriction of watering the lawn once a week.

We have had BELOW AVERAGE rainfall this winter, and Lake Lanier is still 20 FEET below normal level. He is also doing a land grab, claiming that we actually own part of Tennessee where there is a river.

There are two scenarios that this falls under:

1. There never really was a danger of Atlanta running out of water and Sonny used the "crisis" to make water grabs.

2. There is still a danger of running out of water, but Sonny doesn't give a shit about it, only interested in pleasing people short term, the hell with the future.

Either scenario is immoral. And I have been busting my ass trying to save water!!! I just ordered low flow toilets for my house, and this ASSHOLE is going to allow watering of lawns???!!!????

1. Path of least resistance

Sonny doesn't give a shit about running out of water (because God will answer every prayer) and saw a great opportunity to make some water grabs.

Doesn't have to be an either/or situation.

Too bad he didn't know YOU were coming to his state to spank his sorry butt. :rofl:
