Counties have to get money somehow. Could suing neighboring counties be a new trend?

[beorge gush]

ya thats a good idea... lets piss off our neighbors

[good ol Tehama county]

Tehama county needs to chill out. They waste more money going after stupid stuff than saving money from taxpayers. Do you think this lawsuit will save 90,000. No way. Get the dumb ass lawyer out of the Tehama county seat before he breaks all of us???

[JAH DRAGON]

Shasta County residents and all county personnel are surely pissed off for 1) the lawsuit-which will cost both money-strapped counties and 2) the truth be that Tehama Co. is right. I lived in Cottonwood for 2 years (Tehama side of line) yet I spent most of my money in Shasta Co. for gas, food, etc. Why did it take so long in the first place for Tehama Co. officials to realize this?? Ignorance or just now driving down #5 to see the county line? Another case of spending dollars going after dollars that were Tehama's to begin with. Take the sharks (lawyers) out of the well before it runs dry. Start splitting up the bucks without spending the proceeds foolishly. California is in enough of a financial crisis to be having each county trying to alienate one another. Everybody act together or are we all beyond that???????
