Federal Transportation Bill

Congress Woman Laura Richardson Speaks to Streetsblog Following Today’s Field Hearing

1:29 PM PST on February 23, 2011

Congress Woman Laura Richardson, one of three Members of Congress from L.A. County to sit on the House Sub-Committee on Transportation, took a moment to speak directly to L.A. Streetsblog readers following today's Joint U.S. Senate and House Field Hearing on the Transportation Re-authorization Bill.  Richardson represents parts of South Los Angeles, Compton, Long Beach, Signal Hill, Carson and parts of Unincorporated Los Angeles County.

We'll have more on the Field Hearing in a little bit, but in the meantime, take a second to listen to what the Congress Woman heard earlier today.
