Maybe it's a question of agricultural geography. Why would the city of B'ham be drawing water from the Tennessee River to irrigate farmland? Even if there was farmland other than an occasional marijuana or poppy patch, according to Senator Orr's farm bill, there are defined large bodies of water much closer the would supply more than adequate.

And how would an farm bill sponsored by an Alabama state senator before the Alabama senate affect a Georgia city - a city not noted for having downtown farms yet having their own state senate, a state which borders the Tennessee River. to speak for them if they did. No dog in this fight,,,google it Atlanta's water source not likely to come from an Alabama

But back to JT regurgitated comment it is some of my business, the river is in Tennessee more than it's in Alabama.
Howsomeever, despite our short s*h*o*r*e, the state of Alabama has the most important cities and towns bordering the Tennessee. We may not have the most, but we have the best.

So before you and your fellow Tennesseans one holer and hog farms turns the river into an open sewer, Alabamians would like the use river along with other major water sources to irrigate and cultivate our state so as to make Alabama great again.
