7 RI gov candidates to meet in televised debate

SMITHFIELD, R.I. (AP) — The candidates for Rhode Island governor are meeting in the second-to-last televised debate before Tuesday's election, and it'll be a bit more crowded on stage than usual.

All seven candidates have been invited to Wednesday's hourlong debate, which is cosponsored by the League of Women Voters and WLNE-TV and is being held at Bryant University in Smithfield.

Tuesday night's debate featured just the four major candidates: Democratic General Treasurer Frank Caprio, Republican John Robitaille (ROH'-bih-teye), independent Lincoln Chafee (CHAY'-fee) and Moderate Party candidate Ken Block.

The three other candidates participating in Wednesday's debate are all independents.
