Governor Carcieri will head to the GOP convention in Minneapolis early next month. Carcieri's administration reports that he and his wife, Sue Carcieri, will travel to the convention on Tuesday, Sept. 2, and stay through Friday, Sept. 5, the morning after the nomination acceptance speech. While there, the governor will host a breakfast for the Rhode Island delegation and has been invited to speak to the Massachusetts delegation. A spokeswoman says Rhode Island's first couple will pay for their own trip. Carcieri will use campaign funds to pick up the tab for the breakfast. After the convention, expect to see the governor back in the Ocean State for a little while. On Sept. 15, he will travel to Bar Harbor, Maine, to attend the 32nd Conference of New England governors and Easter Canadian Premiers. According to Carcieri spokeswoman Amy Kempe, the conference exists to recognize "the special bond that exists between the six New England states and the five Easten Canadian provinces. The agenda for that event has not yet been finalized.
