Today, the Governor’s Office released a video of Gov. John Bel Edwards’ visit with Mr. Roland Babin, who recently retired from the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) after a record-breaking 67 years of civil service. Gov. Edwards invited Roland and his family to the Governor’s Mansion to personally thank him for his service and present him with an official proclamation celebrating his accomplishments. Roland served under 11 different governors, but had never been to the Governor’s Mansion until Gov. Edwards extended this invitation.
