Boasso to announce 'bold vision' for state
State Sen. Walter Boasso, R-Arabi, has scheduled a news conference Monday to
announce "his future plans and his bold vision for the state of Louisiana."

Boasso isn't saying what he plans to announce, but he has acknowledged he
has thought about running for governor in 2007.

"It's time for government in Louisiana to run differently and be held
accountable to the people it represents," he said in a news release.

Boasso, a businessman in storm-devastated St. Bernard Parish, is a
first-term legislator who made a name for himself by pushing unlikely
reforms, including the consolidation of levee boards in southeast Louisiana,
which voters approved last month. The news conference is at 3 p.m. on the
steps of the State Capitol.
