MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - Alabama Gov. Bob Riley replaces Virginia
Gov. Tim Kaine as chairman of the Southern Governors' Association
when the group meets this weekend in Williamsburg, Va.
Riley said Thursday he will encourage the governors to work
together in China, India and Korea to advertise and brand the South
as a particular part of the United States that offers great
advantages to anyone who might want to come. He said people in
those countries often think of the United States as Washington, Los
Angeles or Chicago.
Riley says the governors will also be discussing how federal
issues, such as cap-and-trade energy legislation, will affect the
region. He says southern companies have relatively cheap energy and
cap-and-trade legislation could raise their costs 40 percent.
