n4- THE SHREVEPORT TIMES Wednesday, August 27, IMS 5-A New Lieutenant Governor Role Seen The equally overcrowded Orleans Parish Prison was bursting at the seams and needed authority to transfer inmates to Angola. As acting governor, Fitzmorris had the authority to make the modification but Edwards had given the authority to Roemer. Fitzmorris said he wasn't aware of any authority given to Roemer during the Governor's absence. The division of administration hinted that Fitzmorris was trying to take credit for modifying the order when, in fact. Roemer had done it.

Fitzmorris denied it, saying "that's not my style. I was interested only in alerting the public. I was acting governor." Although the lieutenant governor is a creature of the governor and the legislature, Fitzmorris can't see the office being an inactive one.

Edwin Edwards says if re-elected, he will make the lieutenant governor head of the 1 y-reorganized division which includes commerce and industry and tourism.

The governor hasn't said anything about the lieutenant governor being a trouble shooter. Governors, for political reasons, have traditionally been reluctant to allow the No.

2 man too much power publicity. Edwards has been accustomed to leaving the executive branch in the care of Commiss loner of Administration Charles Roemer and Executive Secretary Ann Davenport during the times the chief executive has been out of state. This has caused friction as evidenced by the minor flap caused when the prison overpopulation problem intensified while Edwards was on vacation recently. During that period, it was necessary to modify Edwards' order that no new inmates be transferred to Angola. BATON ROUGE (AP) After this fall's elections, the new lieutenant governor could have his hands full just trying to find something to do.

The new constitution says that beginning in 1976, the lieutenant governor no longer will hold the traditional position of presiding officer of the Senate. In effect, the new document says the lieutenant governor stands in the wings in case the governor dies or acts as governor in the chief executive's absence. The office also can enjoy any other power the governor or legislature wishes to grant. That's the rub. Four men are trying for the post, including incumbent James Fitzmorris, who sees a new role for the office.

"The lieutenant governor can be the salesman of the state, particularly in the areas of commerce and industry, tourism and state parks. "I also see him serving as a trouble shooter for the governor," added Fitzmorris. "For example, we have problems with our municipalities. The larger cities have financial! trouble and he could work closely with the mayors.
