Subway to the Sea tea leaves

When talking to reporters and editors at the Times, U.S. Secretary of Transportation Mary Peters had a noncommittal response to the question of building the subway to the Westside. But according to Times reporter Duke Helfand:

Peters struck a more optimistic tone about the extension in an appearance with Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa outside a subway stop in Mid-Wilshire area. She told reporters that "this project is highly likely to be eligible for funding in the future." When reporters pressed Peters for details, Villaraigosa jumped in and declared: "That’s good enough for me."

If Villaraigosa gets the purple line built, he should be declared Mayor for Life.
