Here I Break News On This Blog For the First Time

Well, I'm not sure I've ever broken news on this blog before... but I am going to report with some certainty that Bronx borough president Adolfo Carrion will soon be named to a top post in the Obama administration, probably as HUD Secretary. Carrion was on the phone most of the day Friday with the transition team working out the details, and it's now pretty much a done deal.

UPDATE: White House Office of Urban Policy, not HUD.
