Gubernatorial Q&A:
There's been a lot of talk about the future of the TOPS Scholarship program and questions over whether Louisiana can continue to fully fund tuition costs for every student who is awarded the scholarship. If elected governor, what changes would you purpose to ensure TOPS can remain a successful program?
Jay Dardenne says TOPS has been a lifeline for middle class families in Louisiana and would consider modest changes to the program.
John Bel Edwards believes TOPS has been a success and wants to preserve the program. He wants to stop tuition increases.
David Vitter did not respond.
