PROVIDENCE -- The release of Governor Carcieri's daily schedule generally doesn't make news. But it did today.

Tomorrow from 5 to 5:45 p.m., Carcieri is scheduled to sit down with Lt. Gov.-elect Elizabeth Roberts.

It certainly won't be an introductory meeting, according to Carcieri spokesman Jeff Neal. The governor is acquainted with Roberts, a state senator from Cranston.

Instead, the meeting will focus on how the state's top two elected officials -- who represent different political parties -- can work together.

Roberts replaces Lt. Gov. Charles Fogarty, who narrowly lost a bid to unseat Carcieri in November.
