To make sure everyone is on the same page who doesn't know, the Southeast US is in a major drought. Like it would take months of above average rainfall to get water levels up to normal levels. Georgia is pissed because the lake that provides water for a good part of the state, especially Atlanta, is losing tons of water because the Army Corps of Engineers is letting water out of it per some lines in some Protectionary act, either Environmental or Endangered Species, it isn't important, what is important is that it didn't really matter until the lake turned into about 10 feet below normal levels. And what is Florida's beef about Georgia wanting to hold water into the lake they derive water from? It will hurt their commercial fishing. Only Florida.
