Douglas, who has served as the director of David Paterson’s Washington office, will serve as special assistant to the president for Urban Affairs.

This is great for Douglas, and something of a consolation prize for Carrion, who in December was publicly boasting he’d get a full Cabinet position. [City Room/NYT]
