Villaraigosa at one year

“One year has passed since Antonio Villaraigosa was sworn into office as the 41st mayor of Los Angeles, and in that time the L.A. native has begun work on improving homeless services in the city, but has also received criticism for his proposals regarding public education.

A Democrat who grew up in East Los Angeles and the city’s first Latino mayor in 130 years, Villaraigosa promised during his campaign to be a catalyst for change.

As he began his term, Villaraigosa said he would concentrate his efforts on issues such as transportation, economic development and education. “
