Exactly a month ago today GreenLink Water Solutions publicly endorsed John Tynan for the Greenville Water Commission. Hopefully you read John’s article about water conservation, but if you missed it, you can see evidence of his commitment in the video below.
Like John, I am passionate about the waters of the Upstate. I grew up swimming, boating and fishing in the nearby lakes and rivers, and I understand the importance of protecting our local water supply. If you think the threat of encroachment on these bodies of water sounds outlandish, think again. It is already happening in Charlotte, Atlanta and elsewhere.
Perhaps no one better articulated the inherent value of water than former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes. In a 1931 decision involving the sharing of the Delaware River, Holmes wrote, “A river is more than an amenity, it is a treasure; it offers a necessity of life that must be rationed among those who have power over it.”
Holmes penetrating quote holds true today more than ever, and it’s the very reason we need people like John Tynan fighting on our behalf. Keep up the good work, John.

Every now and then the stars align and a man comes along with new ideas and a fresh perspective. For some people, that man is Barack Obama. For others, that man is Joe Wilson. For GreenLink Water Solutions, that man is John Tynan.
Tynan is running for the Greenville County Water Commission in November, and we believe that he has the knowledge, passion and vision to lead the Upstate in the right direction. Not only does Tynan understand the challenges we face, he also has the solutions needed to conserve and protect our water supply.
