Start spreading the news

Posted at 3:51 PM on July 23, 2008 by Tim Pugmire


New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg will talk politics and public policy this Friday during two scheduled appearances in the Twin Cities.

Bloomberg begins the day at the Nicollet Island Pavilion in Minneapolis where he'll speak at an invitation-only fundraising breakfast for the Independence Party of Minnesota. The former Republican briefly considered running for president this year as an independent.

Bloomberg is scheduled to appear at the Saint Paul Hotel Friday afternoon for a news conference and announcement on public infrastructure. He'll be joined by Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell. California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is expected to participate via satellite. The mayor and two governors launched an effort earlier this year called Building America's Future. The coalition is aimed at making infrastructure funding a national priority.
