..."“Statewide Organizing for Community eMpowerment, a Smyrna-based civic action group that had been working with Maury County residents to tackle water quality complaints in Mount Pleasant. Residents there have complained to the state for months, saying some children had become ill drinking the water. A meeting was organized by State Rep. Sheila Butt, R-Columbia, and attended by residents, TDEC and local officials.”

That’s when the trouble began. A Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation deputy director warned the group that “unfounded complaints about water quality could be considered an 'act of terrorism.' We take water quality very seriously. Very, very seriously.”

Attendees stared dumbfounded as the speaker continued, “You need to make sure that when you make water quality complaints you have a basis, because federally, if there’s no water quality issues, that can be considered under Homeland Security an act of terrorism.” "...

I expect to see more fiefdoms. start to use this tactic.

Not at all surprising for a southern government.... They make up their rules, believing fear is a great motivator to force good behavior.

LOL. As opposed to say the federal government?

Isn't this story about Tennessee? Do you have an equivalent story about the Federal Gov't? My only relevant experience is with the Georgia State Government, where I worked for several years, not dissimilar from Tennessee..... ....I can't speak for the Federal Government.... I guess you will do that.

Why not? You just spoke for southern governments.

As I explained... I worked for a southern government.
