Villaraigosa's Out

Just a quick follow-up on the last post. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa made the official announcement on CNN that he will not be running for the coveted (but stressful) California governorship in 2010, after much speculation by the media. According to the LA Times blog, he says he "can't leave this city in the middle of a crisis," meaning our $530-million deficit, massive job losses and home foreclosures.
