| | Comments (0) |

As election season winds down, five of the nine candidates hoping to dethrone Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa took some jabs at the well-financed incumbent at a mayoral forum in Tujunga Sunday afternoon. Jerry Berrios in the Daily News.

Sunday's forum was yet another debate at which the mayor was a no-show. During a recent editorial board meeting with the Daily News, Villaraigosa said his campaign would focus on his achievements and he would not debate the mayoral challengers.

On Sunday morning, Villaraigosa did attend a meeting of San Fernando Valley Democrats in Northridge, an event that was more focused on hopefuls for the 2010 governor's race.
