Mar 2nd, 2009 | Filed under Economy, Politics

It appears that Obama has found a slice of Chicago corruption here in New York, specifically the Bronx, a golden land of opportunity for corrupt politicians. So says the Daily News: Buildings sprang up as donations rained down on Bronx Borough President Adolfo Carrion.

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.

It’s hope and Change we can believe in … the Chicago Way.
