(AP) — A walking tour of Charity Hospital in New Orleans on Tuesday appeared to violate Louisiana’s open meetings law when several people were barred from the tour. Fourteen lawmakers joined LSU officials and others to walk through the storm-damaged and shuttered public hospital that the university has decided against renovating in favor of constructing a new teaching facility nearby. But several people who favor renovation over new hospital construction said they weren’t allowed on the tour even though it was advertised as a public meeting.—-Contact The Daily Reveille’s news staff at [email protected]
