I just ran across a story in the AJC about a bill before the legislature that would force cities and counties to not ignore foreclosures when they are appraising homes for tax purposes.

It looks like there is an idea to do just that.
If the US Fish and Wildlife Service signs off, the water coming off Lake Lanier could be dramatically cut. Right now, we have about 79 days left.
