Perdue not sunny on water talks

Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue said today he is "less than optimistic" about the success of talks on how to share water with Florida and Alabama. The three states have been fighting over water rights in the region for two decades. Perdue also said he does not believe Alabama and Florida share Georgia's urgency to make a deal. He asserted that Georgia's drinking water shortage is more critical than the water problems faced by its neighbors.
