A gaggle of mayors

Watch out, Los Angeles, we will be inundated with hundreds of mayors from across the country over the next few days when the U.S. Conference of Mayors holds its 75th annual meeting at the Century Plaza Hotel, with our own Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa serving as host.
Vilaraigosa, who chairs the groups panel on poverty issues, is one of the featured speakers at the event that begins Friday and runs through next Monday.
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., is scheduled to address the mayors today and other presidential candidates include Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, and New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson. Other speakers include House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-San Francisco, and FEMA Administrator R. David Paulson.
