		Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), independent U.S. government corporate agency, created in 1933 by act of Congress; it is responsible for the integrated development of the Tennessee River basin.

	Why the Tennessee Valley Authority Must Be Reformed (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		TVA counters that it contributes more than its share of local taxes through its 5-percent "payments in lieu of taxes," but shareholder-owned utilities pay state and local taxes that amount to 8.3 percent of operating revenues, plus federal taxes that equal 4 percent of operating revenues.

		TVA may rhetorically argue that eliminating the appropriation would be unfair, but the only injustice is that 97 percent of American taxpayers are unwittingly subsidizing the electricity rates of the fortunate few who live within the Tennessee Valley.
