Former Bronx BP gets away with accepting bribe

From the NY Post:

Ex-Bronx Borough President Adolfo Carrion — who is said to be exploring a 2013 run for city comptroller — was fined $10,000 yesterday by the Conflicts of Interest Board for accepting services from an architect who had a major housing project requiring approval from his office.

Carrion claimed he didn’t realize Hugo Subotovsky, who designed his porch, was also the architect of the then-proposed Boricua Village apartment complex.

Subotovsky was hired in 2006 to design a $26,000 porch for Carrion’s City Island home. Construction was completed in March 2007 — the same month Carrion green-lighted Boricua.

And Subotovsky did not bill Carrion until after reporters began asking why. On April 15, 2009, Carrion was billed $4,247.50 and quickly paid it. By then, he was serving as President Obama’s “urban czar.”

Obama's EX- "CAR CZAR & Doomsberg's fund controller from Quadrangle Investment, Steven Rattner also paid a fine($10,000,000.00) & beat prison in the Hevesi /Morris nyc/nys pension fund scandal.

Rattner was also banned from appearance before any public pension plan fund within NY , for five years.

Carrion, my wayward son,
there'll be peace when you are done,
lay your weary head to rest,
Don't you cry no more.......

Adolfo Carrion didn't do shit for the bronx and he wont do shit for new York city.

Like Mayor Moneybags, Carrion is a developer's best friend! Remember he threw his full support behind that needless, unwanted, piece-of-shit new yankee stadium in the bronx when the community vehemently opposed it.

Carrion sailed into the white house thinking everyone forgot about him skipping out on paying that developer who worked on his City Island home.

I hope he doesn't get the job for city controller or any other city position. Bad for the bronx, bad for NYC!
