Obama coming to L.A.
Making his first trip to Los Angeles since taking office, President Barack Obama is scheduled to be in the city next Wednesday to meet with local officials regarding the economic stimulus plan.
Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said it is expected to be a quick trip by the president, where local officials will talk with him regarding efforts to deal with home foreclosures and plans for use of the economic stimulus money.
Villaraigosa said his several trips to Washington, D.C., over the past month have been to make the case that the city is looking to be a partner.
"We aren't there with a hand out," Villaraigosa said. "We have shown we are willing to put up a share and be a partner with the federal government."
Details of the president's trip have not been released.
