Obama team members to fan out on summer rural tour
WASHINGTON (AP) _ President Barack Obama is dispatching top administration officials and Cabinet members on a ``rural tour'' this summer to explore ways to strengthen rural America. The tour starts today in Wattsburg, Pa., where Vice President Joe Biden, Commerce Secretary Gary Locke and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack will discuss rural broadband service. The White House says other events will be held in Alaska, Louisiana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin. In addition, Vilsack will hold ``listening sessions'' in other states with local and state elected officials. Obama says ``a healthy American economy depends on a prosperous rural America.''
