SHREVEPORT [AP] — The mayor of Shreveport is making a 12-day economic development trip to China and Washington, but weather has put it off to a very slow start.
Mayor Cedric Glover was supposed to leave Monday, but a flight delay kept him in Shreveport until about 6 a.m. Tuesday. Then bad weather kept him at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.
Glover is scheduled to attend a development and industrial forum in China and to meet with Chinese commerce and trade officials to discuss the deal to sell General Motors’ Hummer brand to a Chinese company.

Glover’s office said the cost of the trip to China is paid for by the forum’s hosts.
