Mike Murphy Ditches Carion For Manhattan Development Corporation

Adolfo Carrion’s communications director, Mike Murphy, is leaving for a job with the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation.

While it’s a loss for Carrion, it’s something of a win that Murphy wasn’t hired by another city comptroller candidate.

That’s more or less what happened with John Collins, who was hired by Anthony Weiner, a likely mayoral candidate.

Collins had recently worked for two possible mayoral candidates before going to Weiner: Christine Quinn and Betsy Gotbaum (who had been considered a longshot candidate until this interview put that notion to rest).

Here’s the email Murphy sent to friends:

Just wanted to let everyone know that I will be leaving The Borough
  President’s Office at the end of the week. It was a great year and a
  half!!!

I have accepted a job as the new Press Secretary for the Lower
  Manhattan Development Corporation. I look forward to working with
  everyone in my new capacity. I will start at LMDC on next Tuesday. I
  can be reached at this email ### (once I get my new
  email I will send it around) and on my cell 646-###-####. Thanks talk
  to you soon and remember only 48 more days to Opening Day of MLB….GO
  RED SOX!!!!

Children Get Shorted For Bronx Center Funds Abuse

A South Bronx day care center being investigated by the city for financial improprieties will lose its city financing next week and have to close, the fourth day care facility to be shuttered in the neighborhood in four years, officials said Wednesday.

The city’s funds for the Lucille Murray Child Development Center are to cease Jan. 11 because of what city officials say has been widespread mismanagement, including hundreds of thousands of dollars in missing funds.

The city’s Administration for Children’s Services has decided against hiring another firm to supply children’s services there because it says the building is in substandard condition and should not be used for day care any longer.
