Mayor on the road again
Mixing politics and business, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is in Washington, D.C., today to meet with federal transportation officials before heading out for a weekend of campaigning on behalf of Sen. Barack Obama.
Villaraigosa is meeting with Transportation Secretary Mary Peters to discuss loans the Metropolitan Transportation Authority has recieved from AIG.
AIG has loaned the MTA $1 billion as part of a sales-leaseback of buses.
On Friday, Villaraigosa turns into a campaigner, with a trip to New Mexico. On Saturday, he is off to Colorado, returning to Los Angeles on Sunday.
Villraigosa, earlier, campaigned in Nevada for Obama _ much as he did during the primary election for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton..
