TVA Don't Need Your Stinking Mandates

Part of the problem of being a quasi-government, quasi-private organization with U.S. Senators watching their back without much public oversight is that TVA can make up its own ad hoc rules for dealing with a coal ash disaster.

And get this: the local Roane County emergency management official--who upbraided the public and told us to believe him because he believed the TVA--is now saying that TVA actually obstructed recovery efforts because of their lack of emergency planning. One Swan Pond resident has already underscored holes in Roane County's own disaster protocols.
