Fortuño working, fundraising in DC
By CB Online Staff
Gov. Luis Fortuño remained in Washington on Tuesday for a second day of meetings with federal officials and members of Congress.
The Puerto Rico governor’s agenda included meetings with U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, Sen. Jeff Bingaman (D-N.M.) Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), and Ron Wyden (D-Oregon).
The governor is scheduled to attend a fundraiser on Tuesday night hosted by the BGR Group lobbying firm. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, a potential running mate for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, is a key invitee.
Fortuño was in Williamsburg, Va., south of the nation’s capital, over the weekend for the summer meeting of the U.S. Governors Association meeting.
