Governor Sonny Perdue left Washington Thursday afternoon with some help for Georgia. It comes in the form of a 16-percent reduction in the release of water from Lake Lanier.
Perdue along with the governors of Alabama and Florida met with Bush administration and federal officials yesterday in what was described as sometimes "tense" meetings in trying to find solutions in the tri-state water wars. The Army Corps of Engineers' plan for water release reduction must still get approval from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The three governors plan to meet again in December in attempts to broker a longer-reaching deal.
