Moon over Miami for mayor

| | Comments (0) |

Fresh from his trip to Israel, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is headed off to Miami where he will be one of the principal speakers at the meeting of the U.S. Conference of Mayors and also get involved with some presidential politicking.
Villaraigosa is to talk about the economic issues facing cities as well as discuss immigration, the environment and crime as challenges that need to be addressed by mayors across the country.
But, he also is scheduled to meet with presumed Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama, according to LAIST.
Villaraigosa was among the most prominent of supporters for Sen. Hillary Clinton and was credited with helping her win the Latino vote. After Clinton's withdrawal from the race, Villaraigosa said he would do all he can to help Obama win the election.
