Representative Zach Wamp Says Protect Tennessee's Water

Congressman Zach Wamp says the border war could become a Federal issue but he doesn't see Washington D.C. or the Supreme Court forcing the issue.

He says Tennessee River water belongs to the people of the Volunteer State.

Rep. Wamp says, "It's one of our greatest resources in Tennessee and what we have to do is protect Tennessee's resources and make sure there that...you know we have compassion for people everywhere, but until somebody forces us to give up water to another state, whatever that state, that's not gonna happen."

Wamp said cooperation on matters of transportation and infrastructure works...but you don't move a state line just because one state has a drought problem and the other has an abundant water supply.
