VP Biden sighting....
Solutions to the nation's daunting infrastructure and education problems will start at the local level, Vice President Joe Biden told thousands of city officials from around the nation on Thursday.
"There's so much we can do, but the good and bad news is it all starts with you," he said.
Biden, who recently put to rest speculation that he would seek the Democratic presidential nomination, spoke at the National League of Cities' annual Congress of Cities, which is underway this week at the Music City Center in Nashville. The vice president never mentioned the race for the White House in his roughly 45-minute address.
Instead, he looked back on his time as a county council member in Delaware and thanked the local officials for helping to make the Obama administration's economic recovery initiatives successful in pulling the nation out of recession.
"We knew we had to make some very tough and unpopular decisions," Biden said.
But he said that with the help of governors and mayors, the massive American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 was implemented efficiently and with minimal waste.
