My good friend, Ben Brandon, is in the news concerning the border war with Tennessee:

Ben Brandon, chief executive of Dade County, Ga., whose northern boundary would be moved to the middle of the Tennessee River if Georgia gets its way, said the scheme has been in the works for some time.

Brandon said he began pushing for access to the Tennessee about three years ago when he realized that tapping the river for its water could become a big public works project. The Atlanta engineering firm of Brown and Caldwell has been advising the county on water issues since 2005.
[...]
Brandon said that Tennessee's resistance to taking the issue more seriously is a bad strategy. "Rather than trying to stonewall, they need to sit down with us and work this out ... because it's not going to go away."

Ben is a great guy. He was the first elected Libertarian in the state of Georgia. He switched to the Republican Party in 2006. Unfortunately, his leaving the party was one of the first issues I had to deal with when I took over as chairman of the Libertarian Party of Georgia, ironically a position he urged me to run for and offered his support.

Nevertheless, you will not meet a more genuine and honest person than Ben Brandon.
