Cronin Seeks Coroner Post

Fishwife: Why did Cronin abruptly depart as CDA Police Chief? Seems he wasn't there very long. And why did he last only a short time as the CDA Tribe Police Chief? Seems his press release and kid glove treatment in this am's CDA Press was a little “selective.” I see campaign issues brewing and a “carpetbagger” label.

Question: Fishwife forgot to mention that Cronin ran for commissioner against Rick Currie two years ago, coming in second in a three-way race that included Jai Nelson. Is Cronin simply looking for a job? Or does he have an itch to get back into public service?
