Money on his mind
There is more than the city';s financial woes on Mayor Antonio Villoaraigosa's mind when he goes to Sacramento today.
The Sacramento Bee reports he is also holding a 41,000 per person fundraiser tonight for his 2009 re-election campaign.
The paper reports:
"His evening fundraiser is at Ella Dining Room & Bar in downtown Sacramento, with an influential list of hosts, including Assembly Speaker Fabian Núñez, lobbyists like Soyla Fernandez and Darius Anderson, members of the Tsakopoulos clan and Bob White, the former chief of staff to Gov. Pete Wilson.
"Others hosting Sacramento fundraisers today include Sen. Alan Lowenthal, GOP Assembly candidate Brian Nestande (if the name sounds familiar to grizzled Capitol veterans, he's the son of former Assemblyman Bruce Nestande) and Assemblyman Curren Price."
