My Past Coverage Of Adolfo Carrion

Since Bronx Borough President Adolfo Carrion is in the news these days as a potential member of the incoming Obama administration, I figured why not give you, dear readers, a chance to look at some of what I've written about him for the Village Voice.

In June, Carrion awarded Dr. Ruth Westheimer a spot on the Bronx Walk of Fame, even though she had never lived in The Bronx.

And in December 2007, I wrote about Carrion's announcement that he would seek the job of City Comptroller in 2009.
