Governor Spencer Cox said he and his fellow governors of states along the Colorado River have been summoned to Washington D.C. to try to negotiate an agreement. ”I will be going back to D.C., I think towards the end of next week; all the governors are going to be getting together with the Department of Interior to have a discussion there,” Gov. Cox said. … FOX 13 News reached out to the governors offices in several states to see if they intended to participate in the talks. Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon’s office confirmed he would attend. So did Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo’s office. … Utah’s governor also expressed support for an idea to pay California to build more desalination plants along the Pacific Coast in exchange for Colorado River water shares upstream.
