BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Four of the subcontractors that helped build L'Auberge Casino & Hotel Baton Rouge have filed liens against the property, claiming they haven't been paid for more than $3 million worth of work.

The Advocate reports the liens were filed with the East Baton Rouge Parish clerk of court. The subcontractors and the lien amounts are Kostmayer Construction LLC, $2.3 million; Roswell Drywall LLC, $618,115; Casey Civil LLC, $87,169; and Master Vac Industrial Services LLC, $33,562.
