One of the nicest th in g s w hich
have come out of this p re-elec
tion fu ro r is the candidacy of
Paul R onniger for Coroner. The
reason it is so nice is th a t it
m eans th a t P au l intends to stick
around here for a t least four m ore
years.
Like everyone else here, w e’ve
heard the ru m o rs th a t
P aul
planned to leave B rookings som e
tim e soon . . . in fact, we w ere
prone to believe them , because we
knew th at people in Salem p re
dicted th a t P aul w ould he back
th ere soon. But P aul assu res us
th at he has no in ten tio n of leav
ing, and his can d id acy p re tty
much backs it up.
So, I guess if h e’s going to be
around aw hile, w’e m ight as well
pay our d o cto r bill . . . th o u g h t
m aybe we could o u tla s t him.
