Yesterday, Daily News noted that former Bronx Borough President Adolfo Carrion Jr.—now the White House's director of urban policy—approved a big city project designed by an architect who had just finished a renovation project on Carrion's own home back in 2007. After initially not telling the News how much he paid for the project or responding to the paper's request for cancelled checks, now the News gets a response: "Carrion admitted he hadn't paid architect Hugo Subotovsky to design a porch and balcony for his City Island home." Carrion adds that the final bill will end up being $3,627.50 for Subotovsky's 51.5 hours of work (just $71/hour) and claimed no bill was paid because he's waiting for the "final survey" to be "filed and approved...as is [the architect's] practice for projects of this kind." Hmm, that's interesting—one would think an architect would get on that immediately to, you know, get paid.

Why doesn't he screen all these tools is beyond me. Is it me or he is picking the worst of the worst?
The beautiful thing about blind faith is the convenience of being able to ignore facts to the contrary.
Well, it'd be way worse Carrion were appointed to Secretary of Housing and Urban Development—I assume Shaun Donovan's closet has been inspected for skeletons or unpaid taxes.
And all it took was to appoint Adolfo to a real political job, as opposed to some nebulous, redundant, cheerleader-in-chief job.
The contract between Carrion and the architect will specify the payment schedule, if there's any question to his credibility (at only $71/hr, there certainly is).
