Yes I know some local businesses have suffered. These are my friends and neighbors, of course I know what the drought has done. But the damage has already been done here. Things are normal now for this time of year. Why should we expect others to suffer, just because we have. I am not aware of any marinas shutting down as you suggest. All the ones I visited this summer were up and running. Selling less, but open. Now I am sure that 9.3 million is chump change to you, but to those that spent it and those that are depending on it going into full operations may see it differently. The largest boat dealer on the lake is claiming it's second best year EVER. Doesn't sound like they are hurting. The water resources below the dam have always had a different purpose and therefore different level requirements. Remember that water is ours too. Don't be angry about it being there. Get in your car and go enjoy it. That is what they do to come here when we have water. Just yesterday mav was asking CAT about the river levels. I seem to remember they were 1.5 - 2.0 ft BELOW normal. If the dredging can be put off 'till the rains come', at a cost of millions of dollars lost, then surely the refilling of Lake Martin can be put off 'till the rains come' at a cost of zero dollars. But osms wanting water at his Pier, now that is priceless!!!!
