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.


ARE YOU KIDDING ME???!!!!

ARE YOU KIDDING ME???!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE WAMP HAS JUMPED ON THIS BAND WAGON TOO... THEY NEED WATER. WE HAVE PLENTY. OUR PLENTY IS POLLUTED. OUR LAW MAKERS ARE STINGY. I COULD SEE IF IT WERE THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH, BUT COME ON PEOPLE! CUT THE FOOLISHNESS! TENNESSEE MAKE NOTE OF WHICH ONES VOTED IN OFFICE ARE THE GREEDY ONES. THEN THINK, "THEY WOULDN'T DO THAT TO THE PEOPLE OF TENNESSEE, WOULD THEY?" AND SEE HOW YOU AND YOUR NEIGHBORS ANSWER YOURSELVES. FOOD FOR THOUGHT.
