Hud Chief Alphonso Jackson Resigns

Another one bites the dust. The Bush administration's senior housing official threw in the towel on Monday amid a criminal investigation and a lawsuit over alleged favoritism in how government contracts were awarded. The Democrats in Congress were up in arms demanding his resignation. The allegations come from on of Jackson's friends who was paid over $390,000 by Jackson's department as construction manager in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. Jackson denies any wrong doing. This doesn't look good for Bush with all of the trauma of the current real estate and mortgage crisis going on.
