BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — The four announced candidates for governor are set to meet in their first forum of the campaign.
Friday’s event in Baton Rouge will focus on transportation issues. Louisiana has a $12 billion backlog of road and bridge work and no clear plan for how to shrink that list.
Public Service Commissioner Scott Angelle, Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne and Sen. David Vitter — all Republicans, and state Rep. John Bel Edwards, a Democrat, will take part.
The forum is sponsored by the American Council of Engineering Companies.
