Obama's Urban Czar:Buildings sprang up as donations rained down on Bronx Borough President Adolfo Carrion

The New York Daily News reports:

The man who is President Obama's newly minted urban czar pocketed thousands of dollars in campaign cash from city developers whose projects he approved or funded with taxpayers' money, a Daily News probe found.

Bronx Borough President Adolfo Carrion often received contributions just before or after he sponsored money for projects or approved important zoning changes, records show.

Most donations were organized and well-timed.

In one case, a developer became a Carrion fund-raiser two months before the borough president signed off on his project, raising more than $6,000 in campaign cash.

Obama,The Chicago Way politician,feels comfortable surrounding himself with people like this.
