Four New Jersey mayors are among more than 60 city leaders scheduled to meet with President Barack Obama and key members of his Cabinet on Friday.
The U.S. Conference of Mayors says Trenton Mayor Doug Palmer, Elizabeth Mayor Christian Bollwage, Piscataway Mayor Brian Wahler and East Orange Mayor Robert Bowser will travel to Washington for the meeting.
They'll meet with the president at the White House before a separate session with Lisa Jackson, the new head of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and former chief of staff to New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine.
The mayors also are scheduled to meet with Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, Energy Secretary Steven Chu, Education Secretary Arne Duncan, Attorney General Eric Holder and HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan.
