The Lake Lanier Association is the only Lanier "watch dog" for recreation, and the only non-municipality or power company participating in this litigation. LLA has incurred a very large debt (almost $100,000 net after payments) for legal expenses. While we have managed to maintain a prudently low level of legal costs, this major debt must be retired. Our normal dues and fund raising activities cannot reduce the debt, so we are reestablishing our "legal defense retirement fund." We are asking for contributions from our stake holders. Contributions can be made through a check to our office or on our Web site via PayPal.
Thank you very much in advance for your support,
The Lake Lanier Association Board of Directors

Last week, Judge Paul Magnuson issued his ruling in Phase 2 of the Water Wars litigation His decision amounts to a major victory for us, and the first decision that has gone in Georgia's favor.
Although our legal team under Clyde Morris has accomplished a great deal, this is not the end of our efforts in the Water Wars. Phase 1 is under federal appeal and Florida could appeal this Phase 2 decision. The new Water Control Plan is under development, and the issue of water supply for north Georgia has not been concluded.
We will continue to represent our stakeholders' interests in this litigation and to protect Georgia's Great Lake. The Judge's decision and more details are available on our web site http://lakelanier.org
