Happy Wednesday, and welcome back to Breaking Bronx. It’ll be cloudy and in the mid-60s today. Here are the news stories we’re following this morning:

Good news for museum-goers on a budget: in honor of its 40th anniversary, the Bronx Museum of the Arts is eliminating its $5 suggested admission fee starting tomorrow.

Is the South Bronx gentrifying? A New York Times piece this week says yes, pointing to an influx of white, middle-class professionals who are making their homes around the Grand Concourse area near Yankee Stadium. UNHP’s Gregory Jobo Lost, in a guest post on the new blog Bronx Matters, says the Times might be getting ahead of itself.

A 2-year-old boy in Parkchester was hit by a car while chasing after an ice cream truck Monday, the Daily News reports. He remains in critical condition.

Former Bronx State Sen. Pedro Espada and his son, Pedro Gautier Espada, are currently on trial for embezzling funds from their nonprofit health care clinics. Their accountant took the stand Monday and testified that the Espadas routinely listed personal expenses as businesses expenses for the company.  In one instance, Espada supposedly tried to expense the costs of his grandchild’s birthday party as “community children’s outreach,” according to the Post.

A New York City school administrator resigned this week after it was discovered he’d arranged a job for his wife in a Bronx Department of Education office. Angel Namnum allegedly arranged to have his wife hired as a community coordinator for the DOE, despite evidence that she was not qualified for the job.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo picked Bronx Assemblyman Peter Rivera to be his new Department of Labor commissioner, in spite of his “baggage,” as the Village Voice calls it. A few years back, a nonprofit the Assemblyman largely helped fund was the probe of a federal investigation, and its director, a law partner of Rivera’s, was slapped with corruption charges last year. Former Daily News columnist Bob Kappstatter, now blogging for Bronx Matters, predicts that Luis Sepulveda–an attorney who challenged Rivera in 2010 and lost–is likely to fill his empty seat.
