Keep an eye on this guy leaving the administration

Adolfo Carrion was President Obama’s Urban Affairs Czar until the New York City ethics board fined him $10,000. The Daily News explains:

The architect designed a porch for then-Borough President Carrion in 2006. At the time, Subotovsky was working on several projects in the Bronx that needed Carrion’s support, including a major apartment complex called Boricua Village.
In a five-page disposition, Carrion admitted he did not have a written agreement with the architect and didn’t pay Subotovsky for his work until after the Daily News revealed this conflict of interest in March 2009 – more than two years after the job was done.

Then Obama moved him out of the White House over to HUD. Now, Carrion is leaving the administration and starting up an enterprise that seems to dovetail nicely with the sort of work he did at HUD and the White House.
