President Barack Obama’s new urban affairs czar, former Bronx Borough President Adolfo Carrion seems to have had some amazing campaign finance luck after most times he approved new real estate developments.
And, Carrion’s refusal to comment beyond a released statement doesn’t look very good.
The complete story is very detailed on the who, how much and when of these campaign contributions, too.
This is why someone like Robert Byrd is spot-on to rail about how all of these “czars,” unreviewable by the Senate, are unconstitutional. And, this being revealed the same day that Obama’s budget director talked about doing an end run around Senate procedural rules doesn’t come off good at all.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
