You get my vote raysea, but you won’t get a lot of sympathy from several on this forum. I could use MythBuster’s theory that we are the largest so we should suffer more, turn it around to say that why not let the mega-rich pay all the taxes because they have most of the money. Wish it worked that way, but not so. I agree with you that the draw down should be equitable with the other lakes in the system. If you want to talk about the size of Lake Martin, then conversely, that means we are supplying a much larger volume of the downstream water.

We all agree that not much can be done this year, but if you just accept status quo, you get status quo. My concern is that we not get the shaft next year or the year after that. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. The article about the mayors and people along the Alabama River is an example. They do not want to accept what is happening and they are trying to do something about it. If you don’t think the lawsuit filed by the Logan Martin Homeowners Association or the pressure put on by the Lake Harris Association has done any good, then nothing we can write on this forum will change your mind. I can only point to the results. Both lakes are better off now than any other time Lake Martin has been at this level of water.
