Update: Carcieri to deliver State of State at 7 p.m.

PROVIDENCE -- Governor Carcieri will deliver his annual State of the State address tonight, focusing on education, the environment and energy, according to his office.

The governor will announce three "major new initiatives" in those areas, according to his office. He will also spend part of his speech reflecting "on some of the progress Rhode Island has made over the last four years," according to his spokesman, Jeff Neal.

Carcieri’s speech is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. A response by House Majority Leader Gordon D. Fox and Senate Majority Leader M. Teresa Paiva Weed will follow.

Two local television stations, Channel 10 (WJAR) and Channel 12 (WPRI), will air the address live, as will Statewide Interconnect C, Channel 15 for Cox Cable subscribers.
