A Tennessee-Georgia border issue that caused a stir a few years ago may resurface at the Lake Lanier Association’s annual meeting Saturday. The event’s featured speaker will be Brad Carver, an Atlanta lawyer who spearheaded tweaking the state line in an effort to produce more water for Georgia and make it “drought-proof.” In 2013, the Georgia Senate voted to direct the attorney general to start litigation if no agreement is reached.
