Part Hizzoner Part Charles Kuralt . . . Kuraltizzoner?

Sure, the good citizens of Harrisburg live in a swing state, but that doesn’t mean they’re not also wildly interested in congestion pricing:

Mayor Bloomberg is on pace to break the travel record for any recent occupant of City Hall, a Post analysis has found.

Records show the mayor — who happens to be swinging through San Francisco and Los Angeles starting today — has visited 20 U.S. cities in the last 18 months.

And that doesn’t count Albany or Washington, routine stops on the government circuit, or foreign countries such as Israel, Jordan, Ireland and Mexico that Bloomberg visited this year alone.

By comparison, in 2004, he took a total of 10 out-of-town trips. Five were to overseas destinations and three were to Albany and Washington.

In 2005, an election year, Bloomberg scaled down. Not a single U.S. city, outside of Albany, made it onto his itinerary.

Over the last 12 months, however, Bloomberg has hit enough cities on his private jet to qualify as a travel-guide writer.

They included Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, Harrisburg, Pa., Boston, Little Rock, Ark., Cincinnati, Cambridge, Mass., Houston, Oklahoma City and Annandale, N.Y.
