JAMES MADISON QUOTE - 1822

"A popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives."

TVA and the Big Recreation Land Swindle?



http://www.tva.gov/rrsc/readingroom3/pubcomments_8-06.pdf Interesting reading, the TVA is to be commended in receiving input from the public. The public is sending the TVA a serious message in this comment session. Page 13 by the Raven Society is most interesting along with others of the same nature. The message is clear, stop selling recreational property for the public at large to the special interest corporate developers who develop the recreation properties for wealthy private individual home builders. Interesting article in the Decatur Times Daily about this issue and economic development: http://www.timesdaily.com/article/20080519/NEWS/805190321/1011 This article contains statements from the departing Congressman Bud Cramer on the issue.


The public's recreational properties around the TVA Valley area are being sold to corporate land developers against the intended use of the property. Locally we have witnessed this at several places around Guntersville Lake. "Coon Gulf", "Preston Island," "Goosepond Island" and others are part of the many big land swindles of public property. What has happened to the Moratorium on Commercial Development of TVA property in the region? TVA Land Policy: http://www.tva.com/river/landandshore/land_policy.htm
