The Mayor of Los Angeles was out of town for two out of four weeks last month, visiting Israel, supporting Barack Obama and raising money for his own re-election campaign next year. Tonight we’ll ask Antonio Villaraigosa how he’s tending to city business on gangs, underperforming schools, the LAPD and increasing fees for city services.
