This morning, Governor Sonny Perdue will attend the first of two meetings in Washington in hopes of finding a truce in the tri-state water battle between Georgia, Alabama and Florida. First up is a face-to-face meeting and sit-down for Perdue with his counterparts west and south, along with Georgia Senators Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson. A later meeting today will be with the governors and officials from the Army Corps of Engineers and Interior Department. At issue is the water from Lake Lanier and its dwindling supply. Perdue wants to reduce the amount of water sent downstream, which helps support communities and industry in Alabama and Florida.
