Yet Another Obama Administration Figure With Problems

Obama sure can pick them. His picks have had tons of legal problems, most with tax evasion. This administration is a joke.

A government watchdog agency is asking the U.S. Attorney's Office to open a bribery investigation into White House urban czar Adolfo Carrión. Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington cited reports by the New York Daily News focusing on Carrión's dealings while he was Bronx borough president.

The reports say numerous developers made tens of thousands of dollars in campaign donations to Carrión around the same time he was considering approval for their projects in the community. He also hired an architect to design a renovation on his home but in the two years since the job was completed, Carrión has not yet paid his $3,600 bill.

But, according to the report, in that interim he approved the designer's developments repeatedly, even subsidizing one project with taxpayer money. The White House has declined to comment on the matter except to say Carrión should pay his bill.
