This article is pretty lazy and didn't bother exploring other issues happening with Cronk. The bigger issue with is that the Austin city council wanted a one year contract with Austin police while voters discuss oversight measures, and Cronk went ahead and approved a 4 year contract instead. Voters and city council were not happy.
A quick google search of his name would have shown this info.
