The first post of the day is simply a quick rejoicing in the election of Antonio Villaraigosa as the new mayor of Los Angeles. Even living in Pasadena, I think of myself as, in some sense, an Angeleno, and I follow the "big city's" politics closely. I've been a fan of his for many years, since he first (as a junior state assemblyman) pushed a bill through the legislature guaranteeing the rights of mothers to breastfeed in public. (His oldest daughter was a student in my women's history class at the time, and she made darned sure we all knew about her father's passionate pro-feminism). I've also been enchanted by his name, a blend of his given surname (Villar) and his wife's (Raigosa). It's a rare man, particularly from the mean streets of East Los Angeles, who would have the courage to create a new name with his spouse.
Above all, Antonio Villaraigosa has a reputation as a devoted supporter of both public and private-sector organized labor, and that bodes well for the future of the working and middle classes in Los Angeles.
Wow! I didn't know that Villaraigosa was lactivist! That earns him big points in my book!
