- Tuesday, Wednesday – The Metro Board of Directors is preparing to give a fond farewell to the reign of Antonio Villaraigosa as Chair of the Board of Directors. His last meeting as Chair will be next week. But all the major work of the Board is done at committee this week, leaving just the infighting for next week. Get the committee schedule, here.
