"WRDA shifts these costs onto federal taxpayers, most of whom will never see, use, or benefit from the projects."

Guess what, Heritage Foundation: If water infrastructure was merely a state and local problem, Georgia wouldn't be suing the Army Corps of Engineers.

"I'm not God. I can't make it rain. But I'll get you the water I can get you," Reames tells residents.

In Georgia the line is: Ignore those crazy liberals calls for water conservation, we can prey.
