Governor Perdue Speaks on Final Day of the GTC

Written by 

The final day of the Georgia Governor's Tourism Conference went through lunch and featured another Internet marketing session and an appearance by Governor Sonny Perdue.

Speaking at Lunch, Governor Perdue couldn't avoid talking about the future of Lake Lanier. He reiterated the state's position of negotiation, more reservoir construction and conservation and added that if the ruling stands there are many more reservoirs in other states across the nation that would be facing similar problems that could lea to more law suits and need further congressional action. He also stated again that the first thing that must happen in Lake Lanier's case is for the Governors of all three states involved to come to an agreement.

Perdue also warned that legislators should not build budgets that are reliant on Federal stimulus money as those funds are spread out over a period of years and then goes away abruptley.

The conference adjourned after lunch with the 350 attendees, sponsors and exhibitors heading back to their businesses equiped to ultilize everything they learned here and hopefully leverage the relationships and new connections they made here over the past few days.
