This past Wednesday, mayor Villareigosa visited the West LA Chamber's monthly networking breakfast. Rather than giving a speech, the mayor took a Q & A session, and was pretty open and straightforward with all questions brought forth. The mayor was emphatic about the 30/10 plan, and noted that while the Westside had previously been opposed to rail line expansion, the area has become a large advocate of the program. He added his enthusiasm for the Expo line opening this Spring/Summer.
The mayor also addressed the issue of education and the struggles of budgetary constraints. Education is another issue the mayor spoke passionately about, and recognized that the UTLA, and CTA as a while, is operating in a broken system and needs to recognize the need for prudent reform.
I really enjoyed the opportunity to interact with the mayor in this town-hall type venue. Mayor Villareigosa will be touring the various Chambers in LA this spring.
