Couple of things

- So the actual members of the Upper Oconee Water Basin are doing the right thing, but Walton County is out there screwing everyone over? Well, let's try that whole free market thing out and jack up the water rates for them. Perhaps passing that cost onto the consumer will deter them from overconsumption.

- Well, that was nice Mary Berry.

- In the frustrating department, I did some research on the 'Cash For Clunkers' program - which, in principal, I support - but found out I didn't qualify. My 1999 Honda Accord apparently gets too good of gas mileage, which is impressive for a 10-year-old car and is a testament to the quality of Honda but costs me the chance to get a rebate and participate in the various matching offers ... even though there are a variety of vehicles currently out that meet the greater fuel efficiency standards of the program.

- Lee Becker notes the rising opposition to Oconee County's proposed governmental restructuring, including The Oconee Enterprise's advocation against such a move.
