Sacramento Bee: It's a mayor-to-mayor meeting and the topic is green.
San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom rolls into town today as the guest of Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, who's hosting his monthly "Greenwise" gathering. Johnson invited his Bay Area colleague, who leads a city often touted as one of the greenest in the nation, to outline San Francisco's green-tech initiatives.
Newsom's environmental policies have helped the city sharply reduce its carbon footprint, attract clean-tech companies and add green jobs.
"We grew our economy and advanced our environmental sustainability," Newsom said by telephone Monday. He became mayor in 2003.
Newsom, the Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor, will discuss San Francisco's green achievements at today's "Greenwise" gathering.
