Housing and Urban Development Secretary Alphonso Jackson is expected to announce his retirement today. Recently, two senators - Christopher Dodd of Connecticut and Patty Murray of Washington sent a letter to President Bush asking that Secretary Jackson resign due to allegations of wrongdoing, which the senators felt made him ineffective.
Jackson was formerly the President and Chief Executive of the Dallas Housing Authority during President Bush’s first term as Texas governor. HUD has scheduled a 10 a.m. announcement.
