HELENA, Mont. (AP) – Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer is telling downstream Missouri River states that they are free to adjust their flood management plans as long as they leave his state out of it.

Schweitzer says the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has indicated it will change its management plan if all the states along the river agree on the solution.

Schweitzer said Friday he would support the new plan as long as Montana reservoirs are excluded, and as long as downstream states stop demands for more seasonal water to float barges.
