Getting Keyed: Carlos Fuentes

Today, Mayor Villariagosa is to present Carlos Fuentes with a Key to the City.

This is the second such Key he's given in the last 11 months, according to comments here. Before Mayor Villariagosa, the last Key to the City given out was by Mayor Riordan just before he left office in 2001. (No keys from Hahn.)

So, what determines this Key-giving?

Carlos Fuentes is an author whose lines were quoted by the Mayor in his first "State of the City" speech. The author and his wife had plans to visit with the Mayor earlier this year, as well. Fuentes has been honored many times before, so why now from Los Angeles?

No press has preceded today's scheduled presentation, just a tip from a fellow blogger, who I tend to trust.
