Mayor to hit the road to D.C.

Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa goes on the road again this week and possibly next with a pair of trips to Washington, D.C..
The trip this week is expected to be a quick turnaround on Wednesday and Thursday for a U.S. Conference of Mayors meeting with Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. Villaraigosa is first vice president of the organization.
The mayor also might have to travel to D.C., again next week when Sen. Barbara Boxer, D- Cal., is hoping to hold a hearing on the 30-10 funding proposal for Los Angeles transportation programs.
