Shelby Hails Water Wars Victory

United States Senator Richard Shelby : Press Room: "Senator Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) today welcomed a ruling in the tri-state water dispute by a federal district court in Jacksonville, Fla.

“Today’s ruling represents a huge victory for Alabama. The Court made clear that Atlanta and the Corps can no longer substitute their will and judgment for that of Congress. I look forward to working expeditiously with my colleagues in Alabama, Florida and Georgia toward an equitable water allocation agreement worthy of Congressional consideration and approval. It is imperative that we proceed to a fair resolution without delay.”"
