Guess those reports earlier this week were wrong. Robin Winchell, press secretary to Rep. Charlie Melancon, says the congressman will indeed be in New Orleans tomorrow for President Barack Obama's visit. Winchell says Melancon will be along to meet with Obama, but says the scheduling hasn't been worked out yet.

"We do not know at this point," Winchell said when asked whether Melancon would be at the UNO town hall meeting, "but he definitely is going to bring up some of the most important issues -- coastal restoration and hurricane recovery efforts for the entire Gulf Coast."
