The Star recently published a well written editorial “Cline’s goal, sadly, comes up dry.” A strong point was made that unfortunately, Cleveland County should walk away from the plan of a reservoir in the northern part of the county.

Suppose you ran a restaurant that offered an all-you-can-eat lunch buffet. For a modest price, customers could help themselves to as much as they wanted from a variety of your dishes.
