Montgomery, AL – The governors of Georgia, Alabama and Florida predict they will have a solution to the three-state water sharing dispute before they leave office in one year.
But they provided no details on what a solution might look like.
The three governors met for nearly two hours Tuesday in Montgomery.
Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue said afterward that it would be shameful if they did not reach a solution and left the two-decades-old battle to new governors.
It was the first time in two years that the three governors have met on the issue. The next step is for negotiating teams to develop an agreement that the three governors can present to their state legislatures in the spring.
