Mayor Villaraigosa Goes to D.C.*

For how long we don't know, but per Talking Points Memo, Mayor Villaraigosa has been named to President-elect Obama's "Transition Economic Advisory Board." "Obama and Joe Biden will meet with the group tomorrow and hold a press conference afterwards, Camp Obama announces. The group includes a bunch of expected names. There's Warren Buffett (who endorsed Obama) and Governor Jennifer Granholm, as well as some heavy-hitters from the Clinton universe, like Robert Rubin and Robert Reich." [TPM] Update: *Washington, D.C. in a metaphorical sense. Villaraigosa is actually meeting President-Elect Obama in Chicago tomorrow, according to a press representative in the Mayor's office.
