Felde: Aguinaga wants federal housing money so South El Monte can buy and refurbish foreclosed homes. He wants transportation dollars to finish construction of the Gold Line's east side extension.
He says he met a well-connected fellow on Capitol Hill who's offered to help his city get what it wants. Aguinaga says it sounded exciting – so he's going to talk to South El Monte's neighbors to see if those cities want to chip in for their own Washington lobbyist.
Aguinaga: Well, we're going to talk about it. You know, if they can help us with the extension and some of the monies that are coming down, you know, it might be in our best interest.
