Conflict-of-interest issues grow for President Obama's new urban czar Adolfo Carrion

Conflict-of-interest issues grow for President Obama's new urban czar Adolfo Carrion: "President Obama's new urban czar, Adolfo Carrión, admitted Tuesday he has not paid an architect who designed a renovation of his Bronx home two years ago.

That presents conflict-of-interest issues because at the time the architect was a key player in a Bronx development that needed approval from Carrión, then the Bronx borough president."

It is remarkable how little Obama's team seems to know about the people they put up for major appointments. How many have withdrawn so far? Yesterday their head intel guy pulled out over conflict of interest and bizarre statement issues. Now it seems that Carrion has a major problem.
