Since then, across the state line, the pollution has provoked indignation that sometimes seems as rank as the river itself. On the Tennessee side, people complain that the river's repugnant color and stench contribute to Cocke County's prolonged economic doldrums by discouraging tourists and development. With an unemployment rate currently averaging 15%, Cocke Countians openly envy the relative prosperity in Haywood County, home of the paper mill (present unemployment average: 6%).

Each side in the standoff is unwilling to make any major procedural changes for fear of losing turf.
